The film Caught Stealing, directed by Darren Aronofsky, premieres in theaters on September 28 in Australia and September 29 in the USA and the UK. In the lead role is Austin Butler, who plays the character Henry "Genka" Thompson, a former baseball player who becomes a barmaid in New York.

The plot unfolds in 1998, when Genka, who is overcoming a personal crisis due to his past career, finds himself at the center of a criminal intrigue. After the death of his friend, a notorious British criminal named Russ (Matt Smith), he becomes a target for dangerous criminals, including the Russian mafia and Jewish brothers.

The film starts with dark humor and energetic pacing, which sets it apart from the typical crime thriller. Aronofsky employs a style characteristic of his previous works, but breathes new life into the genre by introducing elements of black humor and tense situations.

Among the cast are also Reggie King and Zoe Kravitz, who enrich the story about Genka, who struggles to find his place in a world that has become aggressive and unpredictable.

The film is adapted from the novel by Charlie Huston, which adds depth to the characters and plot, while also highlighting themes of survival and struggle in difficult circumstances.
