Move aside Ocean’s 8, there’s a new heist in town. This time, it features four women under the direction of Steve McQueen (12 Years A Slave). He co-writes Widows – based on a 1983 British TV crime drama – with bestselling author Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl, Sharp Objects).

Set in contemporary Chicago, the film introduces the audience to Veronica (Viola Davis), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki) and Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) – three women who become widows when their husbands die in a robbery gone wrong.
