Three of the first of the reboot films were directed by Steven Soderbergh. It's called Ocean's Eleven because the leader's name is Danny Ocean, and there are eleven of them (initially).Ī remake of the 1960 film Ocean's 11 starring Frank Sinatra and his friends from the Rat Pack, it went on to spawn two sequels and a spinoff. This is the story of a crew of expert thieves as they prepare and execute multiple very difficult heists across several movies without ever threatening anyone with a firearm.
