Starring Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey & Laurence Fishburne.

Ben Campbell (Sturgess) leads a dual life. During the week he is a geek who gets straight A’s and is working on a project for the science fair. On the weekends he is a high roller at Las Vegas.

Ben is a student at MIT and wants badly to get into medical school at Harvard, but it will cost him $300,000 of money he doesn’t have. Professor Rosa (Spacey) takes notice of his high intelligence and invites him to join his team. His team is 4 students who go to Vegas regularly to count cards and win big money. At first Ben doesn’t want to join but as his chances of getting into Harvard dwindle he changes his mind so that he can raise the money he needs.

This is based on a true story out of MIT and how these students took Vegas for millions of dollars.
