       Four street magicians are mysteriously summoned and lifted to fame in Las Vegas from where they rob a bank in Paris by magic. Only FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Ruffalo) doesn’t believe it and is out to get them. Caine, Freeman, Harrelson add their own kind of magic to this caper of a film. Silly but fun.
