Logan Lucky (2017)

Logan Lucky is a fast, funny caper set against the loud, chaotic backdrop of a NASCAR race in North Carolina. When down-on-his-luck Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) loses his construction job at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, he persuades his brother Clyde (Adam Driver) and sister Mellie (Riley Keough) to carry out an audacious heist: break convicted safe‑cracker Joe Bang (Daniel Craig) out of jail, blow the Speedway’s vault during the big race, slip away with the cash, return Joe to prison, and still get Jimmy to his daughter’s beauty pageant on time. What follows is a string of clever plans, awkward family dynamics, mishaps (including the long-noted “Logan family curse”), and collisions with arrogant outsiders like team owner Max Chilblain. Watching Logan Lucky you’ll get a blend of heist-thrill and deadpan comedy—blue‑collar charm, oddball characters, and inventive set pieces punctuate the suspense. The film balances tense, detail-driven robbery sequences with warm, often quirky family moments and satirical jabs at class and spectacle. Expect smart planning, comic setbacks, and an underdog spirit that makes the caper as entertaining for laughs as it is for the twists.
