BAFTA-nominated Jon S. Baird (“Tetris,” “Stan & Ollie,” “Filth”) will direct from a screenplay by Logan Miller and Noah Miller (“G20,” “White Boy Rick”). Chloë Grace Moretz (“The Peripheral,” “Miseducation of Cameron Post”), Lewis Pullman (“Lessons in Chemistry,” “Top Gun: Maverick”) and Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose (“West Side Story,” “The Prom”) will star.

based on the 2022 Business Insider article “The $4.5 Billion Question” by Rob Price and Becky Peterson, “Dutch & Razzlekahn” tells the true story of the most expensive heist in history, with Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan (Moretz) and Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein (Pullman), relentlessly pursued by the FBI and blackmailed master hacker Carla Vargas (DeBose).
