Synopsis

Is any job too big for them? Popie (Lee Jung Jae), Yenicall (Jun Ji Hyun), Chewing Gum (Kim Hae Sook) and Zampano (Kim Soo Hyun) are a team of South Korean professional thieves that had just successfully stolen a valuable antique vase from an art gallery. Macao Park (Kim Yun Seok) reaches out to Popie to ask for her team’s help in a new heist in Macau for a rare diamond known as the Tear of the Sun, which is worth $20 million. Unbeknownst to Macao Park, Pepsee (Kim Hye Soo) has just been released from prison and joins the team on the trip to Hong Kong to meet Macao Park. Pepsee was romantically involved with Macao Park but ended up going to jail after he made off with all the gold bars on a previous job. In Hong Kong, the group meets a local crew of thieves: Chen (Simon Yam), Andrew (Oh Dal Soo), Julie (Angelica Lee) and Johnny (Derek Tsang). Can the international band of thieves put their own personal agendas aside to pull off the biggest heist of their lives? “The Thieves” is a 2012 South Korean film directed by Choi Dong Hoon. It holds the record as the third-highest grossing film in South Korean cinematic history.
