Entrapment (1999) - Movie Synopsis & Plot

Robert "Mac" MacDougal is one of the world's greatest art thieves. Already rich, he steals the art for himself, not to show off.

And when a priceless Rembrandt is stolen from a high-tech building in New York, all evidence points to Mac. He was at the auction a few weeks later, targeting the buyers. He left town right after the robbery. And no one knows how he got away with it.

Except for insurance investigator Virginia "Gin" Baker. The only thing outweighing her beauty her mind, Gin is positive that she can take Mac down. Her boss is skeptical; he sent two agents after Mac a while back, and neither of them were ever found. But Gin is confident that she can get him, and so her boss lets her go.

But even within the first day, Mac catches on to her. He steals her luggage and takes pictures of her scoping out a building that was just recently robbed. Gin tells him that she needs his help to steal a famous mask, and, while Mac doesn't trust her, agrees to form a partnership. They begin to train for the big heist, but a bigger one is one the horizon, at the count of midnight of the new millennium. But who's side is Gin on? Who's side is Mac on? And will they trust, or betray, each other?
