Set It Off

“It's about crime. It's about payback. It's about survival.”

Stony (Jada Pinkett Smith), Cleo (Queen Latifah), Frankie (Vivica A. Fox) and Tisean (Kimberly Elise) are four friends in Los Angeles who want out of the work and the money trouble that keep them pinned down. They settle on a plan to rob banks, each with a different reason for needing the cash. F. Gary Gray follows them as they cross a line, and each woman has to decide what she will risk for her family.
