Inspired by one of the largest bank robberies in U.S. history, Heist 88 is set in 1988, at a time before widespread computerization and the cybersecurity protections of today. The plot centers on Jeremy Horne, played by Vance, a criminal mastermind who decides on one last job before he begins his prison sentence. He enlists four young bankers to rob nearly $80 million dollars through a sophisticated exploit of the banking wire system.
It's directed by Menhaj Huda and written by Dwayne Johnson-Cochran, and co-stars Keith David as expert safecracker Buddha Ray, Keesha Sharp as elegant and intelligent political consultant and Horne's love interest Bree Barnes, Xavier Clyde as nerdy comic-book collector Danny Pugh, Bentley Green as cocky, energy-filled DJ Marshall King, Nican Robinson as young, loyal "back of the bank" employee of six years Rick Windom, and Precious Way as LaDonna Sanders, another more ambitious but less visible bank employee.
Heist 88 is executive produced by Vance, his wife Angela Bassett, Johnson-Cochran, Lynnette Ramirez, and Floris Bauer for Bassett Vance Productions and Van Toffler and Barry Barclay for Gunpowder & Sky. Amal Baggar, Mychael Chinn, Donny Hugo Herran, Marcia Landsdown and Janee Dabney are the executive producers for MTV Entertainment Studios with Carlos Lugo as the executive in charge of production.
