Focus

Plot

Focus is a 2015 romantic dark comedy film that stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Rodrigo Santoro. The film centers with Nicky (Smith), a seasoned con-man who becomes romantically involved with novice con artist Jess (Margot Robbie). As Nick was teaching Jess the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flame—now an accomplished femme fatale—shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nicky’s latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop...and the consummate con man off his game. Nicky begins pursuing Jess again, and they eventually rekindle their relationship. The head of Garriga's security entourage, Owens (Gerald McRaney), is suspicious and follows Nicky and Jess. Nicky delivers the component to McEwen for three million euros, but also sells it to the other teams for similar amounts. While he is waiting for Jess at his hotel room, he receives a text saying "You're burned leave now" meaning he is exposed, and should leave immediately. Focus was directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.
