Mark Ruffalo is officially in his cop era. From chasing bad guys in “In the Cut” (2003) and “Collateral” (2004) to leading a full-blown FBI task force in HBO’s “Task” (2025), the man has gone from smashing things as the Hulk to smashing organized crime. At this rate, he’s one badge and a coffee addiction away from starring in Law & Order: Ruffalo Unit.

Now he’s solving heist crimes in CRIME 101.

Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, CRIME 101 weaves the tale of an elusive thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

Determined to crack the case, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher. As the multimillion-dollar heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are forced to confront the cost of their choices–and the realization that there’s no turning back.

Adapted from Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella of the same name, the film is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter). Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte round out the cast.
