The Brothers Bloom are the best con men in the world, swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue. The brothers have perfected the art of swindling fortunes through years of fraternal teamwork. From their childhood, Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and Bloom (Adrien Brody) have shared everything. Stephen, the mastermind, brilliantly concocts intricate stories that the brothers live out, but he still hasnt been satisfied. Meanwhile, Bloom yearns for “an unwritten life”—a real adventure, one not dreamed up by his old brother. Eager to retire, Bloom agrees to take part in one last grand scam, to steal millions from a beautiful and eccentric heiress, Penelope (Rachel Wiesz), and luring her into an elaborate plot that takes them around the world. In this one last job, they associate with a sexy Japanese explosives expert named Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi). When a genuine romance begins to blossom between Bloom and Penelope, Bloom is reluctant to exploit her naiveté, but Penelope has already taken the bait: She impulsively joins Bloom, Stephen and Bang Bang on an ocean liner to Greece. Penelope is convinced she’s happened upon the adventure of a lifetime and offers to bankroll a million dollar deal. As the quartet makes their way from Athens to Prague to Mexico to St. Petersburg, Penelope quickly becomes addicted to the illicit thrills. But as Stephen’s elaborate web of deceit pulls tighter, Bloom begins to wonder if his brother has devised the most dangerous con of his life.
