When billions get stolen, they are the pros who steal it back. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, and Eiza González. Written & Directed by Guy Ritchie. In The Grey follows a covert team of elite operatives who live in the global shadows, as comfortable wielding power and influence as they are automatic weapons and high explosives.

What begins as an impossible heist gets much worse, spiraling into an all-out war of strategy, deception and survival.
