Intense crime thriller unfolds with action and suspense
The 2018 action-crime drama 211 follows mercenaries, local police officers, and high-stakes action as events spiral into chaos in Chesterford, Massachusetts. The story begins with ruthless mercenaries-Tre, Rob, Luke, and Hyde-who torture a war profiteer in Afghanistan. Before killing him, they discover $1.3 million has been wired to a bank in Chesterford. Interpol Agent Rossi is reassigned from Kabul to investigate their plans.
Meanwhile, high school student Kenny Ralston is given a second chance to avoid expulsion by joining a police ride-along with Officers Mike Chandler and Steve MacAvoy. What begins as a routine patrol soon escalates into a violent standoff between the mercenaries and law enforcement after they rob the Chesterford bank and hold hostages.
