Spencer Reinhard (Barry Keoghan, Killing of a Sacred Dear), Warren Lipka (Evan Peters, FX’s American Horror Story), Eric Borsuk (Jared Abrahamson), and Chas Allen (Blake Jenner, Everybody Wants Some!!!) are four friends who live an ordinary existence in Kentucky. After a visit to Transylvania University, Lipka comes up with the idea to steal the rarest and most valuable books from the school’s library. As one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history starts to unfold, the men question whether their attempts to inject excitement and purpose into their lives are simply misguided attempts at achieving the American dream. Directed by Bart Layton (The Imposter), American Animals is an ambitious hybrid, blending documentary and heist film, that artfully interrogates the reliability of memory, storytelling, and ultimately, truth.
