The inspiration for the story comes from a real economic case. Josh, played by Ben Stiller, is a dedicated luxury building manager. For more than 20 years, he has done everything he can to lead the rest of the staff to ensure the safety and comfort of the residents of the building. A billionaire Arthur lives in the penthouse of the building, and everyone trusts him, even giving him their pension to invest. Suddenly one day, Arthur was taken from his home by the police on the charge of stealing $2 billion from investors, including, of course, the pensions of Josh and others. Angry people decide to get their revenge by robbing Arthur's penthouse to get their pension back. However, the entire building has been controlled by the police, and Josh and the others have never committed a crime in their lives, let alone a robbery. To make sure nothing goes wrong, Josh bails the con man Slade out of jail to teach everyone how to rob and plan the impossible crime. Facing the building where they had been working for many years, Josh and his friends finally made up their minds to get back their part of the money, but the process was different from what they had imagined.
