Den of Thieves Movies: Release Order

The Den of Thieves series follows the intense rivalry and unlikely partnership between Big Nick O'Brien (Gerard Butler), a hard-living LA County Sheriff's deputy, and Donnie Wilson (O'Shea Jackson Jr.), a cunning criminal mastermind. The films deliver gritty, procedural heist action with meticulous attention to the mechanics of elaborate robberies.

The series begins with a tense Federal Reserve heist in Los Angeles before expanding to Europe for an even more ambitious diamond exchange job inspired by the real 2003 Antwerp heist. Gerard Butler embraces his over-the-hill action hero persona with sweaty charisma, while the evolving dynamic between the two leads drives the story forward. A third film is in development, continuing this franchise of old-school crime thrillers.
