Marauders 2016

In Cincinnati, four thieves execute an armed robbery stealing $3 million in cash from Hubert National Bank. The crew’s leader shoots manager Roy Hutchinson point-blank. FBI Special Agent Jonathon Montgomery (Christopher Meloni) heads the joint robbery-homicide investigation with Cincinnati PD. Forensics techs find a print matched to a dead Army Ranger named TJ Jackson (Texas Battle). According to the official report, in 2011, TJ’s unit went rogue, capturing Alexander Hubert to collect a ransom. The exchange went awry, and Alexander and the Rangers were killed by a Special Forces team. TJ’s body was never recovered. As the sole heir, Jeffrey Hubert (Bruce Willis), Alexander’s brother, became president of Hubert International.

The local police led by detective Mems go ahead and pick James Jackson (TJ’s brother), who also runs a drug business. But Mems and his colleagues pocket all the cash that was recovered in the bust.

By tracking the serial numbers, the FBI discovers the $3 million to have been donated by the thieves to a City Mission charity fund. Special Agent Wells (Adrian Grenier) is part of Jonathon’s team in investigating these heists.

In a second heist at a different Hubert bank location, the thieves steal cash and the contents of personal safety deposit boxes belonging to Hubert and Ohio Senator Cook. David Dagley (Richie Chance), a member of Hubert’s security detail, is lured to the bank then stabbed to death in an ambush. The killer leaves a .45 bullet with TJ’s fingerprint on it. Dagley was Commanding Officer of the Rangers who snatched Alexander Hubert but did not take part in the ransom scheme. The getaway vehicle is discovered registered to TJ’s brother, James (Chris Hill). Montgomery receives photo evidence of an apparent gay affair between Hubert and Cook and the thieves hack Montgomery’s laptop and Skype call him hoping to persuade him to investigate Hubert’s corruption.

A Security guard from a nearby deli comes forward to Mems and Wells and shares info on the license plate used by the robbers. Without telling Wells, Mems & his colleagues decide to keep the address under surveillance, believing this to be the place where James was stashing the cash.

Converging on the Main Branch for the third robbery, the thieves surprise the FBI during an interview with Hubert. High-powered rifle firefights erupt across the lobby as the men engage in close quarters combat. One thief is killed, and the three others retreat into the downtown traffic. Victims, Hutchinson and Dagley, are found to be old members of an elite platoon with Cook.

Montgomery is sent a file stolen from Hubert detailing the conspiracy to commit murder and military cover-up. It leaks to the media and the truth finally outs; Hubert conspired with Cook to prevent Alexander from taking over the company. They briefed the Ranger unit with false mission intel of a terrorist threat in Costa Rica. The Rangers sent in were then assessed as rogue agents and ambushed by a Special Forces team with no knowledge of the Rangers innocence. TJ was the sole survivor, saved by then Special Forces sniper Wells.

Detective Mems had been working with his fellow coppers to steal the heist money from James Jackson (as they still believed it was James who conducted the robberies). Mems wanted to use the money for his cancer ridden wife’s treatment. But just before the attack, Mems decides to pull out by saying that they should not be doing this. His colleagues still go ahead with the bust, only to realize that it was a set up and both are killed by the Anti-Corruption Squad.

when Montgomery questions Mems, Mems reveals that Wells knew about the source who told them the license plate of the vehicle used in the robbery. This is when Montogomery realizes that Wells planned the robberies.

With his assets frozen, Hubert hastily makes large unauthorized cash withdrawals to flee the country. TJ is tracked by the FBI to a concert venue (where his girlfriend is singing) and taken into custody. FBI Special Agent Wells is revealed to be the thief crew leader with three security guards as accomplices. He planned the heists as vengeance for the Ranger massacre he regrets taking part in.

Recalling a key detail in a map location, detective Mems (Johnathon Schaech) correctly predicts Wells as the thief and arrives just as Wells preps to leave the stash spot with the stolen heist cash. Tormented by a guilty conscience and his wife’s terminal cancer prognosis, Mems pleads with Wells to allow him to return the stolen money and atone (Mems believes that his wife’s illness is caused partly because of the bad deeds that Mems did at his job and wants to reverse some of that). Wells tries to reason with Mems but kills him as Mems raises his weapon.

Sometime later, Montgomery tracks Hubert to Mexico. He finds Wells preparing to kill Hubert in a restaurant and suggests Wells absolve his transgressions by using the stolen money to help others. Montgomery sits at Hubert’s table, sips wine in remembrance of his wife, then stabs Hubert to death with a concealed blade. Wells shoots Hubert’s bodyguard dead, shares a glance with Montgomery, and then leaves.
