About
The Mastermind is a 2025 heist film written and directed by Kelly Reichardt. It stars Josh O'Connor, Alana Haim, Hope Davis, John Magaro, Gaby Hoffmann and Bill Camp. Set in 1970, the film follows a struggling family man who plots to steal art from a suburban museum while the US rages over the Vietnam War. Reichardt described it as a struggle between the allure of individualism and the necessity of collective action. The film was inspired by a mixture of real-life events and classic films, including the 1972 robbery of the Worcester Art Museum and the films of Jean-Pierre Melville.
