Ocean’s 8

With only a few weeks to go until the event, they succeed in persuading a dim-witted actress (Hathaway) to wear the necklace to the gala, but when their plan goes off without a hitch, the team finds itself coming under the gaze of a nosy insurance fraud investigator (Corden), who suspects that Ocean is involved in the theft.
