Ocean's Eleven Franchise

Films

• Ocean's 11 (1960)
  • A planned look at the original, Rat Pack film that started the franchise.
• Ocean's Eleven (2001)
  • While the original may have started it, the Soderberg film from 2001 arguably is the true start of the franchise. This movie was a huge financial success that spawned two sequels, a latter spin-off, and came to define what caper movies looked like for years.
• Ocean's Twelve
  • With the success of the original, there was a desire to follow the further adventures of this gang of criminals. The second film took the con-men out of the Vegas roots for a Europe-hopping adventure. For fans, though, the second film just didn't have the spark of the original. We explore what went wrong with the film in our review.
• Ocean's Thirteen
  • Taking a back-to-basics approach, the third film returns our crew to Vegas for a tale of grifting and revenge. But how does it compare to the original, and, more importantly, does it send out favorite criminals out on a high note?
• Ocean's 8
  • Get get back into the slick, easy vibes of the criminal underworld with a look at the female-lead cast of this Ocean's spin-off.
