Breaking In
ActionAdventureComedyCrime94 min
A veteran burglar makes his living on small jobs, treating breaking and entering less like high-stakes underworld drama than a practiced trade. As he takes a younger partner under his wing, the two move through a world of locks, alarms, stakeouts, and improvised plans, where experience matters as much as nerve. Their crimes are modest, but the routine never stays simple for long: every job brings new risks, shifting loyalties, and the problem of staying one step ahead of trouble. Burt Reynolds and Casey Siemaszko anchor a story about working criminals whose day-to-day hustle turns theft into a craft, and survival into the real challenge.
