How to Rob a Bank: David Leitch’s fictional heist comedy

The 2026 How to Rob a Bank is David Leitch’s action comedy about robbers streaming their crimes. Identify it by director and cast to avoid similarly titled documentaries.

The premise is a scripted heist

Sony’s German distributor page describes a group of young outlaws broadcasting their robberies online, attracting the attention of an experienced FBI agent and a software developer. Their growing audience becomes part of the fictional pursuit. The title is not a how-to instruction, and the plot should not be confused with a documentary about a real bank robber simply because the names resemble each other.

The production details narrow the search

David Leitch directs from a screenplay by Mark Bianculli. The publisher names Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Christian Slater, Pete Davidson and John C. Reilly in the cast. Imagine Entertainment also identifies the feature and director. Use those credits with the year when a catalogue returns another work under the same short title.

Release calendars need their market labels

The Sony page gives a German cinema date of 12 November 2026, which is forthcoming on this guide’s research date. A producer’s earlier release announcement and another country’s schedule need not describe the same current appointment. For an actual UK viewing plan, consult the current UK distributor or cinema listing rather than carrying the German date into a household reminder.

Choose the whole film rather than a trailer

A promotional clip can mimic the story’s online-video style without being the complete feature. Check the item type and release context before treating a short upload as a playable film. The displayed poster is reference material; it does not verify a current UKIPTV offer, a streaming launch or the rights to watch a copy found elsewhere.
