Plot

Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) rounds up the eleven members of Danny Ocean's (George Clooney) gang, and threatens them in order to force them to pay back the $160 million that they stole from his Vegas casino from their previous heist, along with $38 million in interest, within two weeks. Collectively, the group is short by nearly half, and are forced to stage another heist to collect the funds. The group opts for a European target as they are too well recognized in the United States. For their first target, recommended by an informant named Matsui (Robbie Coltrane) the team goes after the world's oldest stock certificate issued by the Dutch East India Company in 1602, being kept in a private home in Amsterdam; the value would not be enough to settle the debt but sufficient to extend their deadline. While the group is able to breach the security of the house, including physically lifting the house to gain the correct line of sight to deactivate the security codes, they find they have been beaten by another master thief, François Toulour, also known as "The Night Fox" (Vincent Cassel). Toulour invites Danny to his home, and reveals that it was he that tipped off Terry on Danny's casino heist, due to being upset that his mentor Gaspar LeMarc (Albert Finney) has believed Danny was the world's best thief. Toulour challenges Danny to see who could first steal the Coronation Egg within the week, offering to pay off Terry's debt if Danny should win.
