Hot Millions

A suave con man, recently released from prison, sets out to pull off his most ambitious scam yet: defrauding a massive computer corporation. He enlists his family and a group of quirky accomplices to help him exploit the company's burgeoning reliance on new technology. The elaborate scheme involves impersonations, shell companies, and a good dose of old-fashioned charm, all while trying to stay one step ahead of the law and the unsuspecting corporate executives.
