Focus Plot
Without a doubt, Margot Robbie and Will Smith are some of the most charismatic actors out there, and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing them together on the big screen. In Focus, they are young, wild, and adventurous - the perfect team. However, not every duo has the smoothest backstory.
At the beginning of the movie we see Nicky Spurgeon (Will Smith), who's an experienced con man, hitting on a gorgeous woman at a bar called Jess (Margot Robbie). When she asks him to go upstairs and they start making out, a man with a gun bursts into the room and threatens to kill Nicky because he's making out with his wife. Nicky quickly realizes that this is a skit and they are just trying to rob him.
After explaining to them how to do it properly next time, he leaves the room, and the two amateurs are left alone, wondering what just happened. Later, Jess finds Nicky and asks him to teach her how to trick people like he does. Even though he tells her how dangerous this is, she doesn't want to give up. If you're ready to see how this will end, don't hesitate to play the movie!

In the movie, these actors step into the shoes of Garriga and Farhad, respectively. Moreover, Gerald McRaney and BD Wong take the roles of Owens and Liyuan, and Robert Taylor plays McEwen.
