They send there friend into the casino to pretend he is a rich man from over seas to run some interfernce and put the plan in motion with Basher the explosives expert who gets a pinch to knock the power out so they can get into the elevator shoot to get to the vault there grease man who is already in a money locker is locked into the vault and wait for Danny and Linois to get into him and then the scam of getting the money out they built a replica of the vault to video tape them actually taking things out of it and blow up half the money.it is one big scam where they actually dress up like the swat team and take the bags out through the middle of the casino. Benedict has his men chase a white van that is driven by a robot to the airport and it has bags of hooker fliers in it while the team is in the swat truck and the movie ends them standing in front of the casinos watching the water show and basking in there victory and Danny goes to jail because he sacrificed himself to Benedict and Tess goes back with him and waits for him to get out prison again...The movie was very high priced and done on expensive sets the cast is large and really well accomplished.there is some long shots during some conversations.
