DuVernay returns to the director's chair, directing from a screenplay by Jesse, as the duo reunites to deliver a character-driven, high-stakes drama. Set against the backdrop of contemporary London, Heist of Benin promises stylish suspense, rich emotional stakes, and themes of cultural heritage and the price of truth. With Oyelowo's magnetic screen presence and DuVernay's acclaimed directorial vision, the film aims to captivate audiences seeking intelligent thrillers with social resonance.
