Based on the 1955 BAFTA-winning comedy which starred Alec Guinness, The Ladykillers sees the life of an eccentric old lady turned upside down by an unlikely group of criminals. Planning the heist of a security van, they decide to use her as cover and involve her unwittingly in the plot. Things do not go well and start to unravel in spectacular and hilarious fashion.
