Plot Overview: A Job Too Big to Walk Away
Following the chaotic heist in Europe depicted in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, the third film finds Big Nick O’Brien (Gerard Butler) still hot on the trail of the elusive thief Donnie Wilson (O'Shea Jackson Jr.). But this time, the chase escalates beyond borders as Donnie is linked to an international network targeting high-security financial institutions across Asia and the Middle East.
As Big Nick forms uneasy alliances with foreign operatives, he realizes that this isn’t just about a robbery — it’s about collapsing the global banking structure from the inside.
