This movie is based on a true story about some very smart MIT students and there teacher, Micky. The newest to the group is Ben, whom is the best with numbers and quickly becomes the star. Micky is the one who designed the way they would count cards. He is also using his money when gambling,so he takes half. They go to Vegas and by using a system of card counting, hand signals, and key words, the group proceeds to win hundreds of thousands of dollars at blackjack.
One night, Ben loses it and continues to play when given the signal to get out. He loses big time which enrages Micky. To get even, Micky calls the casino security and tips them off about Ben. Ben is taken and beaten but is let go. Also, Micky steels Ben's money, which he was saving for Harvard medical school. After a cooling off period, Ben gets back in the good graces of Micky and convinces the group to go back to Vegas for one last big take. Does Ben have something up his sleeve? Has he really forgiven Micky? Is there someone out there who would like to see Micky suffer?
FINAL VERDICT: Not really that exciting, but a good story worth watching.
