Ocean's Films - Watch Order: Soderbergh Trilogy
This watch order focuses on the core Danny Ocean trilogy directed by Steven Soderbergh, following George Clooney's charismatic thief and his crew of specialists. The trilogy presents a complete character arc as the team evolves from the initial Las Vegas casino heist through European adventures and back to Vegas for a final showdown.
These three films form a tightly connected narrative with recurring characters, ongoing relationships, and references that build across the series, making them best experienced together in sequence.
Ocean's Eleven
Less than 24 hours into his parole, charismatic thief Danny Ocean is already rolling out his next plan: In one night, Danny's hand-picked crew of specialists will attempt to steal more than $150 million from three Las Vegas casinos. But to score the cash, Danny risks his chances of reconciling with ex-wife, Tess.
Ocean's Twelve
Despite pulling off one of the biggest heists in Las Vegas history and splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life ... but that's proven to be a challenge. Casino owner Terry Benedict demands that Danny Ocean return the money, plus millions more in interest. Unable to come up the cash, the crew is forced to come together to pull off another series of heists, this time in Rome, Paris, and Amsterdam – but a Europol agent is hot on their heels.
Ocean's Thirteen
Danny Ocean's team of criminals are back and composing a plan more personal than ever. When ruthless casino owner Willy Bank doublecrosses Reuben Tishkoff, causing a heart attack, Danny Ocean vows that he and his team will do anything to bring down Willy Bank along with everything he's got. Even if it means asking for help from an enemy.
