Ultimate Heist is a French heist film from 2009 that follows a team of criminals as they attempt to pull off an elaborate robbery. The movie stars Jean Reno as Barnes, the leader of the group, Gaspard Ulliel as Simon, the young thief recruited for the job, and Vahina Giocante as Lisa, Barnes' second-in-command. The film begins with Barnes assembling his team for the ultimate heist, which involves stealing a shipment of gold bullion from a heavily guarded train. Simon is a newcomer to the criminal world, but he's recruited for his exceptional pickpocketing skills. Lisa is the team's expert sniper and reconnaissance specialist.

The team spends much of the movie preparing for the heist, with Barnes and Lisa meticulously planning every detail of the operation. Simon struggles to earn their trust, but eventually proves his worth by successfully stealing a key piece of equipment the team needs to pull off the heist.

Once the day of the heist arrives, the team puts their plan into action, with Simon and Lisa taking positions on the train while Barnes oversees things from a nearby vantage point. The heist is successful at first, but things quickly go wrong when the team discovers that they've been set up and the police are closing in.

What follows is a tense and thrilling chase through the streets of Paris as the team attempts to evade the police and make their escape with the stolen bullion. Along the way, they face numerous obstacles, including a car chase through the city and a shootout with the police.

Despite the odds, the team manages to make it to their getaway vehicle with the stolen gold, and they drive off into the night. However, they soon discover that the bullion they stole is fake, and they've been double-crossed by a rival gang.

With no gold and no money, the team is left to fend for themselves and decide whether to try and seek revenge on the rival gang or disappear and start anew. The film ends on an ambiguous note, leaving the fate of the team up to the viewer's interpretation.

Overall, Ultimate Heist is a well-crafted heist film with strong performances from its lead actors. The movie expertly balances tension and action, and the chase scenes through the streets of Paris are particularly thrilling. Fans of the genre are sure to enjoy this French take on the classic heist movie.
