Director: Randall Emmett
Two escaped convicts, one very rich ex-wife, and a decade of Prohibition-era glamour set the stage for High Rollers, a 2025 comedy caper that treats a jailbreak as the opening move in a longer con.
What is High Rollers about?
Set in 1920s France, the story follows Philip, a smooth operator with a taste for trouble, after he breaks out of prison alongside a fellow inmate, Felice, an Italian con man with his own agenda. Their target is Belle, Philip's former wife, whose fortune makes her an obvious mark and whose history with Philip complicates every scheme they attempt. As the pair pose their way through parties, back rooms, and narrow escapes, old grudges resurface and the line between revenge and romance keeps shifting under their feet.
Cast & crew
John Travolta anchors the cast as Philip, playing the con with a mix of charm and desperation that suits the character's checkered history. Gina Gershon brings sharp presence to Belle, while Lukas Haas and rapper-turned-actor Quavo round out a supporting ensemble that leans into the film's loose, comic energy. Kelly Greyson, Joel Cohen, Daniel Louis Rivas, and Natali Yura fill out the rest of the crew of grifters and marks.
Context & significance
Director Randall Emmett leans into the period setting, letting flapper-era fashion and jazz-age nightlife do a lot of the visual work while the plot moves at caper speed. Billed as a comedy with real crime-thriller stakes, High Rollers has built a strong 7.3 rating among viewers who enjoy watching a swindle unfold in real time rather than after the fact.
