Fame and fortune are attractive prospects for most people, but to one group of teenagers living in LA, it has become an obsession. Using the internet to track the whereabouts of the most stylish Hollywood icons, the adolescent crime group known as the Bling Ring repeatedly raid their homes while they're away helping themselves to everything from Rolex watches, jewellery, expensive designer clothes and wads of cash. Among their usual victims are Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom and Rachel Bilson. While they get away with their crimes long enough to enjoy their loot for several months, it takes them being caught red-handed to fully understand the seriousness of their crimes and the consequences of their unashamed quest to imitate their style icons.
'The Bling Ring' is based on the true story of a group of teenagers in Los Angeles who were arrested in 2009 after burgling a string of celebrities' homes including Hilton, Bloom and Bilson as well as Audrina Patridge, Brian Austin Green and Lindsay Lohan. The crime drama has been directed and written by Oscar winner Sofia Coppola ('Lost in Translation', 'The Virgin Suicides', 'Marie Antoinette') and is set to hit cinema screens this summer from June 14th 2013.
