There’s been a lot of mystery surrounding The Take. Previously, the movie was titled Here Comes the Flood. The Take’s plot details are completely under wraps, except for the logline. It reads, “A bank guard, a teller, and a master thief get caught in a deadly game of cons and double crosses.”
Robert Pattinson plays Noah, a former Army captain trying to adjust to civilian life. He then meets Christian Carter, played by Denzel Washington, a charismatic thief who recruits him to help rob Manhattan’s richest bank. It’s the same place where Noah’s girlfriend, Rose (Daisy Edgar-Jones), also works as a teller.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the cast members didn’t reveal too much regarding the story. Edgar-Jones said, “I don’t want to set it up too much, as the fun of this film is the mystery and its turns.” The Take is directed by Fernando Meirelles, best known for City of God.
Without going into details, Meirelles revealed, “The structure of the script really caught my attention. You start watching the film without quite knowing where it’s going to take you. You have to come along for the ride without too many expectations. The story keeps surprising you right up to the very end.”
While sharing his excitement for the project, Pattinson said, “It’s a really interesting and exciting script.” Speaking on his collaboration with Washington and Edgar-Jones, he added, “It was one of those dream-team situations that was pretty easy to say yes to.”
The heist thriller’s ensemble cast also features Danai Gurira, Moisés Arias, Justin Kirk, and Sean Harris. The Take releases on January 15, 2027, in select theaters and on Netflix.
