Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist

Based on a Vanity Fair article, "The Suspect Wore Louboutins," the film follows a group of fame-obsessed teenagers who, using the internet, track the residences of celebrities in Los Angeles and rob them.

Their crime spree escalates as they become bolder, eventually leading to their capture and public exposure.
