What It's About: Three siblings (Adam Driver, Channing Tatum and Riley Keough) plot to plot to pull off an impossible heist during an iconic NASCAR race.

Why It Might Save Hollywood: Despite being semi-retired from making movies, Steven Soderbergh is back with a star-studded crime caper that should provide some welcome relief from the onslaught of CGI-driven action filling multiplexes over the summer.

In addition to the three leads, Soderbergh has roped Daniel Craig, Hilary Swank, Katherine Waterston, Katie Holmes, Seth MacFarlane, Sebastian Stan and Macon Blair into the mix. Quite the lineup.

Soderbergh is one of the more consistently intriguing filmmakers working today, so this should be a fun, witty take on the screwball heist comedy.
