| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Columbia Pictures' action/adventure 21 is inspired by the
true story of the very brightest young minds in the country
- and how they took Vegas for millions.
Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student
who - needing to pay school tuition - finds the answers in
the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's
most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed
with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at
blackjack in their favor. With unorthodox math professor and
stats genius Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) leading the way, they've
cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate
system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time.
Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart
and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor (Kate Bosworth), Ben begins
to push the limits. Though counting cards isn't illegal, the
stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping
the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of the casinos'
menacing enforcer: Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne).
