“Log on. Hack in. Go anywhere. Steal everything.”

He wants the cash to fight terrorism, but lacks the computer skills necessary to hack into the government mainframe. Enter Stanley Jobson, a n'er-do-well encryption expert who can log into anything.

Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~35/65, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (38% of the domestic run, typical for Action) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
