An entrepreneurial criminal, Slim (Dorff) is as smart as they come. Cocky and confident, he assembles a team of risk-taking rush-seekers to pull off a series of five bank heists, each time using a different extreme sport to make the getaway. Following an unexpected windfall on only their second job, the gang nets $20 million in untraceable bonds. Having scored enough money to retire on, Slim and his crew decide to call the robbery game quits. But both the mob and the police have other plans in mind for Slim: they want him to keep working, for them.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film arrived at the absolute tail end of the X Games boom, when extreme sports briefly hijacked Hollywood action. Think XXX, Torque, and the forgotten gem Rollerball remake.
Director Gérard Pirès made the legendary 1998 French heist film Taxi, which explains why Steal's car chases feel competent while everything else falls apart.
