Empire State

2013 R 1h 34m 5.2

Two childhood friends plan to rob an armored-car depository, but an NYPD officer stands in their way.

After failing to get into the police academy, Chris Potamitis (Liam Hemsworth), settles for a security guard job with the EMPIRE STATE Armored Truck Company. Chris makes the mistake of mentioning the company's lax security to his best friend, Eddie (Michael Angarano), and is soon unwittingly drawn into an elaborate scheme to rob the abundant amounts of cash being stored there - resulting in the largest cash heist in U.S. History. As the stakes continue to rise, Chris and Eddie must outwit Detective James Ransome (Dwayne Johnson), an NYPD veteran who is hot on their trail, as well as the local crime lords that want to know who pulled off a job on their turf, or suffer the consequences.
