The story
Despite pulling off one of the biggest heists in Las Vegas history and splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life... but that's proven to be a challenge. Casino owner Terry Benedict demands that Danny Ocean return the money, plus millions more in interest. Unable to come up the cash, the crew is forced to come together to pull off another series of heists, this time in Rome, Paris, and Amsterdam – but a Europol agent is hot on their heels.
Ocean's Twelve recap
Terry Benedict tracks down every member of Danny Ocean's crew and gives them two weeks to repay the money they stole from him, with interest. With no place to work in America, they go to Amsterdam and Rome. Their first job, stealing an old stock certificate, is beaten by the Night Fox, a gentleman thief named Francois Toulour, who wants to prove he is better than Danny. The Europol detective Isabel Lahiri, Rusty's former girlfriend, is on the case. Toulour reveals he tipped off Benedict and challenges Danny to steal the Coronation Egg, a Faberge egg in Rome; whoever gets it wins, and Toulour will pay the debt if Danny's crew wins. Tess poses as Julia Roberts to get close to the egg, and the crew is arrested.
Ocean's Twelve ending explained
Toulour thinks he has won, but the crew had stolen the real egg from a train before it reached the museum, guided by Rusty's old mentor LeMarc. Toulour has to pay their debt. LeMarc is revealed to be Isabel's missing father, and the crew plays poker together, with Benedict paid back.
