About Ocean’s 11 in brief

Summary Ocean's 11Ocean’s 11 is a 1960 American heist film directed by Lewis Milestone and starring five of the Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford. The film also stars Angie Dickinson, Cesar Romero, Richard Conte, Akim Tamiroff, Henry Silva, Ilka Chase, Norman Fell, Patrice Wymore, and Buddy Lester, and includes cameo appearances by Shirley MacLaine, Red Skelton, and George Raft. World War II veterans Danny Ocean and Jimmy Foster recruit nine comrades from their unit in the 82nd Airborne to simultaneously rob five Las Vegas casinos: the Sahara, the Riviera, the Desert Inn, the Sands, and the Flamingo.

At midnight, New Year’s Eve, the tower is blown up and the Las Vegas Strip goes dark as the inside men sneak into the cages, hold up the cashiers, and then dump the bags of loot into the hotels’ garbage bins. In desperation, they hide the money in Bergdorf’s coffin, setting aside USD 10,000 for his widow. The group plans to take back the rest of the money, making no payoff to Duke, after the coffin is shipped to San Francisco. The gang’s closing shot shows the main cast walking away from the funeral home, with the Sands Hotel marquee behind them, listing their names as headliners.
