Director Bryan Singer's labyrinthine crime drama centers on five career criminals (played by
Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, and Stephen Baldwin) who meet
after being rounded up for a standard police line-up. Upon their release, the men band together to
pull off an intricate heist involving $3 million worth of emeralds. Their success brings them to the
attention of the enigmatic Keyser Soze, an unseen, nefarious, and mythic underworld crime figure
who coerces them into pulling off an important and highly dangerous job. The scenes that follow
make The Usual Suspects one of the most fascinating crime thrillers in cinema history.
