Based on true events, HEIST 88 takes you back to an era before cyber crime ruled.

LOS ANGELES – SHOWTIME unveils the official trailer and promotional art for the hotly anticipated original film, HEIST 88. Led by the magnetic two-time Emmy Award-winning actor Courtney B. Vance, known for his stellar roles in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story and Lovecraft Country.

Set to stream on the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscription plan, the gripping crime drama premieres on Friday, September 29. A subsequent linear airing is scheduled on SHOWTIME, Sunday, October 1, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Based on real-life incidents, HEIST 88 transports audiences to an era predating digital dominance and the cybersecurity landscape of the present.

With prison on the horizon, Horne orchestrates a grand finale – a heist targeting a whopping $80 million from the U.S. banking sector, recruiting a squad of young bank insiders.
