What happens

The Crew (French: Braqueurs) is a 2015 French action thriller film directed and co-written by Julien Leclercq. The film is about a Parisian heist crew led by Yanis Zeri (Sami Bouajila) which specializes in well-planned robberies of armoured trucks. Although Yanis has managed to survive for years as a career criminal by a combination of his sophisticated operations, his low-profile, modest style of living, and his focus on what the team is good at, after his younger brother Amine makes a serious mistake after a recent heist that entangles them with a drug gang, the gang leader forces the crew to do a dangerous heist of a heroin shipment.
