Robbing Mussolini narrates a misfit crew’s unforgettable heist across war-torn Italy. The Italian production, based partially on a true story, revolves around Isola (Pietro Castellitto) a cunning thief who refers to himself as an “entrepreneur” operating in Italy’s black market during the Second World War. His products? Selling weapons to rebels and drugs to celebrities.

Isola decides to loot Il Duce himself. He embarks on a daring heist to steal the legendary treasure of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from the heavily-guarded Black Zone. Isola realizes that he can’t pull off the job alone, so he forms a band of misfits and rogues. The band has an aged sniper / bodyguard, a comics nerd, a street-fighting pickpocket, and a renowned race car driver.

The film’s absurdity is entertaining as it offers moments of comedy combined with sharp action and compelling characters in an interesting epoch in history.
