Thomas Crown, a young, handsome millionaire, pulls off the perfect crime by having four men rob a bank and dump the money in a trash can, which Crown retrieves later. Independent insurance investigator, Vicki Anderson, is contracted to investigate the heist. As she digs deeper into the case she begins to suspect Crown's involvement.

1999 film

Thomas Crown, a self-made billionaire, is an adventurous businessman who likes a good challenge. During the film we see Crown can get anything he wants almost without challenge, material items, women etc. We see him crash an expensive yacht and lose a hundred thousand on a golf swing, simply because he can. We also see Crown steal a priceless Monet painting and get away. This is when the owners of the artwork unleash insurance investigator Cartherine Banning to assist the police department in solving the crime no matter the cost, during which she suspects Crown. The chase is on and it finally gives Crown everything he was seeking, a challenge.
