About the American Animals 💬

''We must suppose that American animals... slowly migrated by successive generations from the outer world into the deeper and deeper recesses of the Kentucky caves.''

Charles Darwin, ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES

• The Book Thieves

AMERICAN ANIMALS is the unbelievable but entirely true story of four young men who attempt to execute one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history.

• Some decisions change the course of your life. Forever.

The film centers around two friends from the middle-class suburbs of Lexington, Kentucky. Spencer (Barry Keoghan), is determined to become an artist but feels he lacks the essential ingredient that unites all great artists - suffering. His closest friend, Warren (Evan Peters), has also been raised to believe that his life will be special and that he will be unique in some way.

• Are you tired of being ordinary?

But as they leave the suburbs for universities in the same town, the realities of adult life begin to dawn on them and with that, the realization that their lives may in fact never be important or special in any way.

• Every good heist needs a good plan.

Determined to live lives that are out of the ordinary, they plan the brazen theft of some of the world's most valuable books from the special collections room of Spencer's College Library.

• The perfect heist is a work of fiction.

Enlisting two more friends, accounting major Eric (Jared Abrahamson) and fitness fanatic Chas (Blake Jenner), and taking their cues from heist movies, the gang meticulously plots the theft and subsequent fence of the stolen artworks.

• You're either in or you're out. You don't know where the line is until you cross it.

But not everything is as it seems, and as the daring theft unfolds through each of their perspectives, each of them starts to question whether their attempts to inject excitement and purpose into their lives is simply a misguided attempt at achieving the American Dream.

• This Is Not Based On A True Story. This Happened.

Unfolding from multiple perspectives, and innovatively incorporating the real-life figures at the heart of the story, writer-director Bart Layton takes the heist movie into bold new territory.
