The Plot: A Diamond Heist and a Corrupt Heiress
The Four Horsemen—J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson), Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), and Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher)—reunite for their most ambitious and global mission yet. This time, they team up with a new generation of three talented young illusionists to expose the corruption of Veronika Vanderberg (Rosamund Pike), a powerful diamond heiress who launders money for warlords and traffickers.
Their target is the "world's largest 'queen diamond'", and the mission is a race against time and a cunning adversary.

Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco return as the original Four Horsemen.
Mark Ruffalo also returns as Dylan Rhodes, the FBI agent who was secretly a Horseman accomplice.
Morgan Freeman is back as the legendary magician-turned-debunker, Thaddeus Bradley.
Newcomers Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt portray the next generation of illusionists.
Rosamund Pike plays the new primary antagonist, the calculating Veronika Vanderberg.
