It has been three years since Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his thieving cohorts made off with a cool $160 million from the vaults of the three casinos in Las Vegas. Almost to a man they have been living the good life, surrounded by the trappings that only obscene amounts of money can buy. As the film opens we see Danny retired with the lovely Tess (Julia Roberts) and about to celebrate their 'second' third anniversary. Unfortunately for Danny and the rest of the original eleven, things are about to go pear-shaped. It seems the man they pinched all the money from, Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), still hasn't forgiven them and has been on the trail of the band ever since. Despite getting it all back on insurance, Benedict wants Ocean and his pals to cough up the $160 million, plus interest or he's going to do unmentionable things to them. Benedict gives the group two weeks to comply with his request or they must face the consequences.
So the eleven get together again to discuss just how they propose to come up with the loot. It's generally agreed they are far too well known to knock off anything of any value in the United States, so they decide to head to Europe to see if they can find something worthy of their thieving talents.
Once nestled in Europe - in Amsterdam to be precise - the gang set about casing the perfect crime, but this time things don't go quite as smoothly as they did in Vegas three years prior. Throwing a spanner in the works is the appearance of Europol detective Isabel Lahiri (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a former flame of Rusty's (Brad Pitt) who now specialises in catching the organised big-time career criminals. Another problem for the gang is the appearance and apparent one-up-manship displayed by rival and self-proclaimed greatest thief in the world, the man known only as 'The Night Fox' (Vincent Cassel). As the rivalry heats up into a competitive fervour, Ocean's gang finds themselves having trouble staying one step ahead of the determined Lahiri and getting to the scene of the crime before The Night Fox.
The long setup eventually pays off and the gang look set to nick a seriously expensive artefact, just in the nick of time before Benedict comes looking for his money. There's a lot going on in this story and it might take a couple of viewings to keep tabs on who's who and what's what, a challenge not helped when director Soderbergh pulls a swifty and has one of the cast impersonate themselves in real life and throws in a cameo from Bruce Willis as Bruce Willis.
