At a glance, it feels like we already know how the story of American Animals will end, because we’ve all seen enough movies and heard enough stories to know that four teenagers undertaking a heist will not end well. However, the film’s first trailer, debuted Wednesday, manages to pique our interest and make us think maybe these kids will get away with this caper after all.
The official American Animals synopsis reads:
The extraordinary and thrilling true story of four friends (Evan Peters, Barry Keoghan, Blake Jenner, and Jared Abrahamson) living an ordinary existence who brazenly attempt to execute one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history. But not everything is as it seems, and as the daring theft unfolds through each of their perspectives, each of them start to question whether their attempts to inject excitement and purpose into their lives is simply a misguided attempt at achieving the American Dream.
