Plot

In this picture, Daniel Ocean (Clooney) recruits a team of specialists to rob three Las Vegas casinos: the Bellagio, The Mirage and the MGM Grand, all of which store their money in a central, hi-tech vault. All three casinos are owned by Terry Benedict (Garcia), the man currently dating Ocean's ex-wife, Tess (Roberts). The robbers foil the elaborate security mechanisms to get to the vault with the casino's money, and escape by disguising themselves as a SWAT team.
