Laure then fakes her own death and escapes to the United States with the loot.
Seven years later, while married to a wealthy ambassador, Laure's past as a con-woman catches up with her. A paparazzo named Nicolas Bardo (Antonio Banderas) captures a photo of her in the street. Meanwhile, a gangster named Black Tie (Peter Coyote) recognizes Laure as the missing thief from Cannes and aims to hunt her down.
Laure seeks the help of Nicolas, leading them on a thrilling and dangerous adventure across Paris and New York City. They cross illegal deals, betrayals, and constant threats from Black Tie, all while sparks fly between Laure and Nicolas.
The film is notorious for its twist ending, which leaves the audience questioning the true identity of Laure Ash.
