Clooney and crew settle the score

The new movie Ocean�s 13 follows the continuing adventures of Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his all-star gang. This time they�re going to need more than luck on their side to come out on top.

Ruthless casino owner Willy Bank (Al Pacino) never imagined that the odds were against him when he double-crossed Danny Ocean�s friend and mentor Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), putting Reuben in a hospital bed in critical condition. But Bank miscalculated badly.

Bank may have taken down one of the original Ocean�s 11, but he left the others standing. Worse for him, he gave them a shared purpose: to take Bank down on the night of the grand opening of his new casino.

Danny�s plan for vengeance is elaborate, dangerous and nearly impossible. But the gang will stop at nothing when it comes to helping one of their own.

The star-studded action of Ocean�s 13 hits theatres on June 7.

ruthless (adj): determined to get what you want and not caring if you hurt other people
