During an unpleasant appointment at the bank, Joe is one of the victims to witness a robbery in progress carried out by three individuals wearing black masks. During the robbery, he notices the leader bearing a Mongol warrior tattoo on his neck as the only lead that could help the police identify the culprit. However, the leader sympathizes with Joe when he finds out about his current financial situation brought up by the bank. Then, the robbers manage to escape with over $1.6 million. When the company they worked for is bought out, their pensions become a casualty of the restructuring. Joe is hit particularly hard and finds out that he, his daughter, Rachel, and granddaughter, Brooklyn, will be homeless in fewer than 30 days. Willie finds out he 's gravely ill from kidney failure and needs a transplant and is even more frustrated because his financial situation forces him into a long - distance relationship with his daughter and granddaughter. Desperate, the three friends decide to rob the bank that is going to restructure their pension funds and take back what is rightfully theirs. Inspired by his experience of the robbery, Joe originates the idea ; at first Albert and Willie are appalled, but eventually agree when they later learn that their bank intends to steal their pensions. Trying to shoplift some items from a grocery store, where Al 's love interest, Annie, works, results in a comic disaster, so the trio turn to Joe 's former son - in - law, Murphy, and a criminal working as a pet store owner named Jesus to teach them the ropes. They plan an alibi using their lodge 's carnival as a cover. Joe, Willie, and Albert disguise themselves as `` The Rat Pack '' ( Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. ) and use guns with blanks so that no one gets hurt. The robbery almost goes awry when Willie collapses briefly and a child witness partially pulls off his mask to allow him to breathe better ; she sees the wrist watch he wears with a picture of his granddaughter on it as he engages in a friendly conversation and sympathizes with her, so as not to let her feel intimidated about the robbery in progress and when the bank manager clumsily tries to fire shots at them ; however, the three manage to get away with over 2.3 million dollars. They are soon arrested on suspicion by FBI Agent Hamer after the manager from the grocery store recognizes Al 's walk from the video surveillance cameras, but they all stick to their alibis. Hamer puts them along with other senior suspects into a police lineup, using the child witness who partially took off Willie 's mask. She refuses to identify Willie, leaving Hamer with no case. Willie suffers total renal failure and is near death until Al agrees to donate a kidney. While part of the money is used to help the three friends with their financial situations, the rest is given to their families, friends, co-workers, and fellow members at the lodge. Joe finally gets his granddaughter a puppy he promised her if she got A 's in every subject at school ; courtesy of Jesus, who is later revealed to be the leader of the robbers from the robbery Joe witnessed and has laundered the money that they stole. The tattoo on his neck is also revealed to be a fake made of Henna, intended to throw the FBI and the police off the scent.

Melfi explained, `` In this modern era, and even for me, I do n't want to see a movie where my heroes whom I 've been fighting for and rooting for for two hours die or go to jail. I want to see them get ahead, and it 's perfect for them to get ahead these days because everyone hates banks now. So let 's have them put the perfect heist together, rob a bank, get away with it, and go off into the sunset. They said, ' Yes, let 's do that, ' and that 's how that script was born.
