What happens

Entrapment is a 1999 heist film directed by Jon Amiel and written by Ronald Bass. It stars Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones and includes Will Patton, Ving Rhames and Maury Chaykin. The film focuses on the relationship between an investigator and a professional thief as they attempt a heist at the turn of the millennium. Simon West and Antoine Fuqua were both in talks to direct before Amiel was hired. Principal photography took place from June to October 1998 at locations in Britain and Malaysia. The score was composed by Christopher Young, and British singer Seal performs "Lost My Faith" over the end credits. Entrapment was released theatrically by 20th Century Fox in the United States on 30 April 1999 and in the United Kingdom on 2 July. It received mixed reviews from critics, and grossed $212 million worldwide on a $66 million production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
