Plot Summary (No Major Spoilers)
Set against the gritty backdrop of Los Angeles freeways, Crime 101 follows an elusive, meticulous jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose clever heists along the 101 have baffled police for years. He lives by a strict personal code — until he sets his sights on one final, massive score.
His path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) facing her own life crossroads, while a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) closes in, convinced he’s cracked the pattern. As tensions rise, the lines between hunter, hunted, and partner blur in this taut thriller full of twists, tension, and moral dilemmas.
Think Heat meets modern noir with sharp writing from director Bart Layton (known for his gripping, truth-infused storytelling).
