	Movies - Ocean's Twelve

Ocean's Twelve is a 2004 film that takes place after the events of the 2001 movie Ocean's Eleven
. Like its predecessor, the film is directed by Steven Soderbergh. The film was released in the United States on December 10 2004 starring George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon.

In spite of extremely high box office expectations, and a promising opening weekend, Ocean's Twelve was not a very big box office hit, at least not compared to Ocean's Eleven. As of April 12 2005, the movie grossed about US$125 million while Ocean's Eleven made about $184 million in its entire box office run. Ocean's Twelve grossed 362,744,280 USD after its worldwide theatrical run.

The film is rated PG-13 in the US, 12A in the UK, and PG in Canada. As with the first film, there is no sex, violence or strong subject matter and it was the inclusion of a few choice sexual swear words uttered in a non-sexual context that upped the film to a more commercial rating. According to Yahoo! News, a sequel is in the works, with a working title of Ocean's Thirteen
.

Plot

At the opening of Ocean's Twelve, the eleven members of Ocean's Eleven are living their lives separately off the fortunes of their Vegas casino heist in the first film. Terry Benedict (Garcia), the owner of the three casinos, confronts each member of the team in turn, demanding the team return his money, with interest. Benedict gives the team two weeks to come up with the money.

Ocean and the team decide to stage another heist to pay off the debt. Being too hot to work in the United States, they pick a European target: the world's oldest stock certificate in Amsterdam. Ocean's Eleven manages to breach the security around the certificate, but a rival thief, the "Night Fox" (Cassel), beat them to the document.

As it turns out, The Night Fox was the one who revealed the identities of the Eleven to Benedict. The Fox was incensed that his mentor, the retired thief Le Marc (Finney), hailed "Ocean's Eleven" and the casino theft as one of the best thefts ever committed. The Fox "broke rule number one" (revealing another thief's identity) in order to lure the team to Europe, where he can propose a challenge: the theft of a Fabergé egg. Both Ocean's Eleven and the Night Fox will attempt to steal the famous egg within a week; the first to succeed will be declared the better thief. If Ocean wins, the Fox will pay off the team's debt. With no other options, Ocean accepts the challenge.
