While sitting at the bar of a hotel lobby one night, a man catches a glimpse of an attractive young woman and goes over to introduce himself. That man is Nicky Spurgeon (Will Smith) and that woman is Jess Barrett (Margot Robbie). When the two go back to Barrett's room for the night, a gunman attacks Spurgeon, demanding all of his money. The problem is, Spurgeon is a seasoned conman, and is able to quickly sniff out a scam when it arises. After imparting both Barrett and her assailant with some lessons in the art of conning, Spurgeon leaves. Three years later, Spurgeon and Barrett will be reunited in a dangerous game of deception and theft.
Directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ('Crazy, Stupid Love.') return with 'Focus'. The film was originally set to star Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone (both of whom stared in 'Crazy, Stupid Love.') but after both actors dropped out of the project, Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck were both offered Gosling's role, and Kristen Stewart was cast in Stone's role. Before principle photography began in September 2013, Will Smith and 'The Wolf of Wall Street''s Margot Robbie were cast in the main roles. 'Focus' is due to be released on 27th February 2015.
