With the entire legendary Ocean’s trilogy now available on 4K, it’s the ideal time to revisit the legendary filmsat home – here’s every crew member you need to pull off the ultimate heist.
The Mastermind
Danny Ocean (George Clooney)
The brains of the operation. Danny Ocean always has a scheme and a dream on the go, steps ahead of everyone else – and, crucially, always multiple moves ahead of even the most high-tech casinos. Whether sprung freshly from prison, forced to claw himself out of a financial hole, or simply protecting one of his fellow partners, Danny is always looking for his next big win.
The Wingman
Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt)
If Danny Ocean has a plan, you can bet it involves Rusty – cool, charismatic, and a rare person able to keep up with Ocean’s omniscient mind. Together, the pair can cook up genius schemes; and, like Danny, Rusty can bring his considerable charm into play whenever the team need a handy distraction.
The Pickpocket
Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon)
Eyes on your possessions, people – if it’s not tied down, Linus is taking it. When he first joins Ocean’s crew in Eleven, the fresh-faced Caldwell is a master of sleight of hand, able to pinch and pilfer without anyone batting an eyelid. Later on, he works to become even more integral to the crew – going full method-actor in Thirteen (complete with prosthetic nose) to help pull off Ocean’s biggest scheme.
The Double
Tess Ocean (Julia Roberts)
Ocean’s wife – then ex-wife, then wife again – tries to keep out of his business dealings. But in a pinch, Tess will throw herself into the mix; as she does in Ocean’s Twelve, reluctantly getting involved in a plot to swipe a Fabergé egg. The plan? She’ll pose as Julia Roberts, to whom she bears a striking resemblance. The likeness is uncanny, really.
The Boomer
Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle)
Need something blowing up? Look no further than Basher, a cockney geezer (brace yourself for that accent, Brits) who loves nothing more than getting to make sweet mayhem with whatever explosive you choose. Need the power taking out? Get Basher on it. Need to simulate an earthquake? Bring in Basher. Bish bash bosh.
