| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Academy Award winner® Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener),
Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody (The Pianist), Mark
Ruffalo (Zodiac), and Academy Award® nominee Rinko Kikuchi
(Babel) star in The Brothers Bloom, a globe-trotting comedy
about the last great adventure of the world’s two best
con men.
Welcome to the world of The Brothers Bloom, where deception
is an art and nothing is as it seems. The brothers have perfected
their craft through years of fraternal teamwork. Now they've
decided to take on one last spectacular job—luring a
beautiful and eccentric heiress into an elaborate plot that
takes them around the world.
For as long as they can remember, the Brothers Bloom have
had only each other to depend on. From their childhood in
a long series of gloomy foster homes to their highflying lives
as international con artists, Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and Bloom
(Adrien Brody) have shared everything. Stephen brilliantly
concocts intricate stories that the brothers live out, but
he’s still searching for the perfect con, the one where
“everyone gets what they want.” Meanwhile, Bloom
yearns for “an unwritten life”—a real adventure,
one not dreamed up by his older brother.
Eager to retire, Bloom agrees to take part in one last grand
scam. He insinuates himself into the life of Penelope (Rachel
Weisz), a bored, single New Jersey heiress. When a genuine
romance begins to blossom between them, he is reluctant to
exploit her naiveté, but Penelope has already taken
the bait: She impulsively joins Bloom, Stephen and their “associate,”
a sexy Japanese explosives expert named Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi),
on an ocean liner to Greece. Penelope is convinced she’s
happened upon the adventure of a lifetime and offers to bankroll
a million dollar deal. As the quartet makes its way from Athens
to Prague to Mexico to St. Petersburg, Penelope quickly becomes
addicted to the illicit thrills. But as Stephen’s elaborate
web of deceit pulls tighter, Bloom begins to wonder if his
brother has devised the most dangerous con of his life.
