They often say that no good deed goes unpunished, yet a talented band of misfits is determined to challenge that notion. This eclectic group, known as the Misfits, cleverly employs their scam-artist skills, unyielding spirit, and a keen insight into systemic weaknesses to redistribute wealth from nefarious individuals to those in dire need. The team, which includes the enterprising Ringo (Nick Cannon), the resourceful Violet (Jamie Chung), the cunning Prince (Rami Jaber), and the adept Wick (Mike Angelo), unites their talents to thwart human trafficking and dismantle illegal drug operations.
As fate would have it, the Misfits find themselves confronting their most formidable adversary yet: a terrorist organization linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is poised to execute a massive attack. To assist them, they enlist the expertise of the renowned thief Richard Pace, portrayed by two-time Golden Globe® nominee Pierce Brosnan. Fresh from prison, Pace seeks to reconnect with his daughter Hope (Hermione Corfield), who has connections to the Misfits, ultimately acting as their unofficial mentor.
However, lurking behind them is the ruthless Warner Schultz, played by Academy Award® nominee Tim Roth, who manages a network of privatized prisons worldwide, including the one from which Pace recently escaped. With a fierce personal vendetta against Pace, Schultz pursues the Misfits all the way to Abu Dhabi, determined to apprehend Pace before the group can intercept the terrorists’ treasure trove of gold.
In a whirlwind of action featuring car chases across the arid desert, covert operations beneath shimmering hotel facades, and intricate escape routes through labyrinthine prisons, the Misfits must leverage their full array of skills to secure the gold from Abu Dhabi and deliver it to those in need. They stand on the precipice of executing the largest heist imaginable… if fortune favors them.
Directed by Renny Harlin, known for his work on films like Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea, and 5 Days of War, THE MISFITS introduces an exhilarating and dynamic ensemble to the action-adventure arena - on a mission to level the playing field.
