IT DOSN'T TAKE A THIEF

IT DOSN'T TAKE A THIEF
By Joseph Murkijanian

GENRE: Action, Crime
LOGLINE:

To dismantle the global conspiracy that "manufactured" his legendary career, a master thief must infiltrate the shadow agency that claims to own him. 

SYNOPSIS:

Jack Vale (50s) is a man of absolute discipline and muscle memory, a world-class thief whose career is defined by "mapping the exits" before ever admiring the art. His journey begins with a high-stakes museum heist in a European coastal city—an operation that feels suspiciously practiced, ending in his unhurried surrender to armed guards. While serving time in a federal prison, Jack is approached by Eleanor Cross, a sharp-suited agency handler who offers a "Conditional Parole Agreement."

As Jack moves through objectives in Zurich and Paris, the "missions" begin to pull back the curtain on a disturbing reality. He discovers encrypted files indicating that his entire professional "legend" was a curated fiction; the agency had been clearing his escape corridors and rerouting security for decades to ensure his success.
