Thieves infiltrate the Metropolitan Museum of Art inside an actual Trojan horse, preparing to steal an entire gallery of paintings, but are apprehended. In the confusion, billionaire Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan) - the crime's secret mastermind - steals Monet's painting of San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk. NYPD Detective Michael McCann (Denis Leary) heads the investigation into the theft of the $100 million artwork, with the unwelcome assistance of insurance investigator Catherine Banning (Rene Russo). Banning says that according to McCann, the thieves shut off the AC to drive out the crowd from the museum (but they were themselves among the crowd). Plus, the theory of trying to steal 1000 pounds of artwork (plus 800 pounds of their own weight) doesn't seem plausible with a chopper that has a 600-pound effective load. There is also a mystery of a titanium briefcase that was used to keep open a specific gate of a section from where the Monet was stolen. Banning figures that the Monet section had thermal cameras. When the air was cut off, the temp rose so much that the entire camera feed was wiped off. But the rest of the sections were fine. She then figures that the desk in front of the Monet had 3 legs in the video and only 2 actually. (the 3rd leg was another briefcase placed by Thomas earlier in the day, in which he took the Monet home). Banning reckons that the bench briefcase also had a heater that increased the temp around the Monet more than the rest of the museum. Banning watches as Thomas comes in to identify the perpetrators. She interrogates one of them and figures that they were hired to conduct the robbery by a middleman. They were given schedules and timetables and everything. Banning thinks they were hired to create a diversion. Crown donates a Pissarro to fill the Monet's space in the museum and falls under Banning's suspicion. Banning meets Thomas and tells him that she suspects him of stealing the Monet. Thomas is intrigued and asks her out to dinner. She convinces McCann to begin surveillance of Crown, deducing that the wealthy playboy is motivated not by money but the sheer thrill of the crime. Banning accepts Crown's invitation to dinner. Before the date, Crown's therapist correctly guesses that he has found "a worthy adversary" in Banning. Before dinner Thomas takes Banning to the museum. Banning taunts Thomas by saying that personally she would have taken an irrelevant painting rather than the Monet (and points to the painting of a boat on a lake). At dinner, Banning has a copy of Crown's keys made; she and her team search his home and discover the Monet, which is revealed to be a taunting imitation, painted over a copy of Poker Sympathy from the Dogs Playing Poker series. Banning confronts Crown and the two give in to their mutual attraction, spending a passionate night together. Banning and Crown continue their cat-and-mouse game and their trysts, despite McCann's surveillance. Accompanying Crown on a trip to Martinique, Banning realizes he is preparing to run and rejects his offer to join him when the time comes. Banning is having full blown feelings towards Thomas but continues to look for clues for the missing Monet. After she returns, McCann presents Banning with photographs of Crown with another woman, Anna (Esther Cañadas), complicating her feelings toward the case and her prime suspect. when confronted Thomas maintained that he allowed himself to be photographed with Anna as he wanted to know Banning's true feelings towards him. Banning and McCann discover that the fake Monet is in fact an expert forgery that could only have been painted by someone with access to the original; they visit the likeliest forger in prison, to no avail, although his attitude suggests to them that he recognizes the work. Later, Banning finds Crown packing his belongings with Anna. He promises Banning his interest lies with her alone, stating that Anna works for him, but he would be compromising her to define the nature of their association, and offers to return the Monet, giving her a time and place to meet him when he's finished. Tearfully, Banning leaves and informs McCann. The following day, the police stake out the museum, waiting to arrest Crown. Banning learns that the fake Monet was painted by Anna; the imprisoned forger is her father, a partner of Crown, who became her guardian. Crown arrives but quickly blends into the crowd, aided by lookalikes in bowler hats a la Magritte's The Son of Man. Evading police, Crown sets off the museum's fire sprinklers. His donated Pissarro, hanging in the Monet's place, is washed clean by the sprinklers to reveal the real Monet. Crown's plan is made clear; upon stealing the Monet, Crown had Anna forge the Pissarro over it, and "returned" it to the museum. However, Crown has now vanished with another painting (the one that Banning had pointed to early on), but Banning's employer and McCann consider their case closed as this painting is not covered by Banning's employer. Banning races to meet Crown but finds only the missing painting. Devastated, she sends the painting to McCann, and boards a plane back to London. Taking her seat, she finds Crown sitting behind her and the two are passionately reunited.

Roy 'Tin cup' McAvoy (Kevin Costner), is a failed pro golfer who lives at the run-down driving range which he manages with his sidekick and Caddy Romeo (Cheech Marin) in the West Texas tin pot town of Salome. Roy ends up signing over ownership to a Madam Doreen (Linda Hart) of 'show girls' to pay off debts. Roy once lost his chance to become a professional golfer when he attempted a riskier shot for the final round of the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament rather than taking a safer shot. Roy lost the qualification by one shot. Roy's foxy novice golf pupil, female psychiatrist Dr. Molly Griswold (Rene Russo), turns out to be the new girlfriend of McAvoy's sarcastic one-time college golf partner, slick PGA superstar David Simms (Don Johnson). Molly had spent over $200 on golfing accessories, which Roy calls unnecessary. Molly wants Roy to break down the process of golfing to her, but he says that Molly has to feel the game. Roy compares golf to a poem. Roy says that he has a short follow through which, some people say, indicates that he has never finished anything in his life. Molly is only trying to learn golf to share the passion of her boyfriend. Simms asks Roy to be his Caddy for a charity tournament (Roy once shot a 59 on the course, can still hit a 65 with his eyes closed. Roy knows the course like the back of his hand and the tournament has a $500K purse) & Roy takes it (As Simms promises $100 and 5% of his earnings). The offer is an insult to Roy, but he deep in trouble and has no other options to make money. Roy can't resist challenging Simms to a risky shot on the course. Simms fires Roy when one of the competitors asks Roy to take the shot that he had been proposing to Simms, and he makes it. Simms refuses to pay Roy any of the money promised to him. Roy is neck deep in debt & owes $2K even after signing over his driving range to the madam of show girls. Roy owed a debt of $12,000 and signs over the range for $10,000 plus a salary for him and Romeo. He even pawns off his golf set to survive. When he finds that Molly is Simms girl, he decides to win the US Open to impress Molly & win her back. He wins a golf gamble (for $400) using garden tools to win money to get his golf set back. Molly is a therapist, so Roy decides to ask Molly whether his strategy to win her is right. Roy talks hypothetically about another girl in his life & Molly asks him to take a risk & ask the girl out to dinner. Roy professes his love to Molly & she is stunned. Molly says that she cannot be romantically involved with a client. She agrees to be his doctor & help him qualify for the Open. Roy tells Molly that her boyfriend is a very negative person, and he hates everything and everybody, which she refuses to believe. In the qualifiers, Roy displays a tendency to take needless risks, just to satisfy his own professional esteem, without caring for winning or losing. He angers Romeo when Roy insists on going over a set of trees rather than playing safe and going around them with an extra shot. Roy breaks all his golf clubs when Romeo won't allow him to take the shot. Roy completes the rest of the course only with his 7 iron and qualifies for the sectionals. Roy even loses his car when he challenges Simms to hit the ball the farthest, & Simms wins it by hitting the ball onto the road. Roy again tells Molly that when the camera is not on Simms, he treats old people, kids and dogs like dirt. Roy qualifies & asks Molly to join him at the Open, which she refuses. Roy begs Romeo to join him as his Caddy at the Open, who accepts. Roy's swing develops a problem and Romeo thinks that the issue is Molly. Roy begs Molly that he needs her, but she continues to resist. Roy wants Molly to dump Simms and be with him. On the opening day, Roy gets the jitters at the Open Driving range & Romeo makes him realize that he only has to think about golf & nothing else. At the open Roy has a bad first day as he still has the Shanks and cannot hit a single ball straight. Simms comes around to gloat when he hits a 67 and Roy hits an 83. Molly realizes what Roy had been saying all along, that Simms is not a nice guy when the TV cameras are off him. She dumps Simms & has sex with Roy. Before dumping Simms, she makes Simms pay out $2000 on a bet in which Roy makes an seemingly impossible shot from inside a bar, over a fence, across a river to make a pelican fly off its perch at a pier, at the other end of the river. Roy has a spectacular day & makes the cut, but not before running into par 5 18th, & taking a risky shot for an eagle chance, & then hitting the water, to make par. He makes the same mistake the 3rd day & ends it at 7 under, tied for the lead with Simms. He is paired with Simms the last day & Simms keeps challenging Roy to difficult shots & Roy keeps taking them, falling behind in the scores. At the 18th, 3-way tie for the lead, same shot, & Roy goes for it to win it outright. He makes the green this time, only for the ball to roll back into the water. Roy takes the same shot 11 more times from the same spot, before he makes it perfectly. He loses the US Open, but his 12 on the 18th hole becomes a part of golfing folklore as the whole gathering gives him a standing ovation for making that shot. Molly & Roy are together. Back in Texas, Molly tells Roy that he automatically qualified for next year's Open due to his standing.

Chilli Palmer (John Travolta) is a loan shark in Miami. When his New York based boss dies of a heart attack, Palmer finds himself working for Ray 'Bones' Barboni (Dennis Farina) an old rival who hates, Palmer. Bones is upset with Palmer for not collecting a loan from dry cleaner Leo Devoe (David Paymer) who was killed in an airliner crash. Bones directs Palmer to get the money from Devoe's widow (Linda Hart). Visiting the widow Palmer realizes that Devoe is not actually dead but got off the plane at the last minute and has used the accident to get out of the loan and, through his wife, collect a $300,000 settlement from the airline. Devoe has taken the money out of the state, but never sent for his wife. Angry, she lets Palmer know that he is in Las Vegas. Palmer travels to Vegas and meets with a casino chief who tells him that Devoe has managed to gamble his winnings up to $500,000 and has moved on to Los Angeles. The casino chief asks Palmer while he is in L.A. if he can visit low budget movie producer Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman) and remind Zimm that he owes the casino $150,000. Palmer traces Zimm to the house of his sometimes girlfriend, sometimes star, Karen Flores (Rene Russo). Late at night when Flores hears the TV playing downstairs, she sends Zimm down to turn it off and he finds Palmer watching Letterman. Palmer delivers his reminder to Zimm about the casino debt and Zimm promises to pay. Palmer is a big film fan and engages Zimm in a conversation about his work eventually pitching him a story which is a fictionalized version of his hunt for Devoe. Flores comes downstairs to find them talking over drinks and, less than happy with both, and throws them out. Action switches to the airport where gangster Bo Catlett (Delroy Lindo) is meeting a representative of a Columbian cartel, Yayo Portillo (Jacob Vargas) to buy a shipment of drugs. Catlett takes the drugs and gives Portillo the key to an airport locker where the $500,000 in cash is stowed. Portillo, suspecting a set up and that the locker is being watched by the Federal agents, does not go to the locker, but shows up at Catlett's mountainside house. Catlett shoots him and his body falls over the balcony down the mountainside. Catlett sends his bodyguard, Bear (James Gandolfini) a sometimes stunt man, to retrieve the key and hide the body. Zimm tells Palmer about a movie he wants to produce, "Mr. Lovejoy," which has what he thinks is an Oscar winning script. He can't produce it, however, because Catlett has already lent Zimm $150,000 to do a film called "Circus Freaks." Zimm can't return the money because he lost it at Vegas in attempt to gamble it up to $500,000, the amount he needs to buy the Lovejoy script from the late writer's wife Doris Saphron (Bette Midler). Palmer tells Zimm to let him handle the next meeting with Catlett and he will get Circus Freaks put off for a few months. Palmer will get the money from Devoe to finance Mr. Lovejoy. Zimm gets nervous in the meeting with Catlett and Catlett's tough subordinate Ronnie Wingate (Jon Gries). Zimm screws it up so that Catlett finds out about the valuable script and wants a piece of the production. He even offers to give Zimm $500,000 for the picture and suggests he send Palmer to get it from a locker at the airport. Palmer goes to the airport and senses a setup. He tests what is going on by seeming to open the locker with the money when actually he opens the locker next to it. He is grabbed by federal agents, but then released when they realize that they have made a mistake. Afterward Bear confronts Palmer in the parking lot to get the key back but is outmatched by Palmer who levels him with a few blows. As Bear recovers Palmer asks him about his stunt work and flatters him by knowing about the movies he's been in. Palmer mentions that he thinks Bear can do a lot better than working for Catlett. The key to making Mr. Lovejoy a success is to get star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) to sign on. Flores is Weir's ex-wife and still has a good relationship with him. Flores starts to become romantically involved with Palmer and helps him get access to Weir. As it turns out Weir's current girlfriend is Rock star Nicki (Renee Props) an old friend of Palmer's from Miami. Soon Palmer, who is familiar with Weir's work and flatters him, manages to talk him into signing on for the picture. Palmer also interests Weir in playing the fictional version of himself in the story he is developing. Palmer tracks down Devoe and takes $310,000 of the $500,000 leaving him with just his Vegas winnings. Devoe complains, but Palmer tells him if Bones had found him instead Bones would have taken all the money and killed him. Meanwhile Bones has learned of the money Devoe has scammed from the airline. He comes to LA when Zimm foolishly contacts him and tries to get him to invest in his film. A meeting between the two doesn't go well and leaves Zimm in a cast and head brace. At the same meeting Wingate appears and is shot by Bones, who then makes it look like Zimm killed Wingate in self-defense. The fact that Yayo has disappeared along with $500,000 has brought Colombia drug lord Mr. Escobar (Miguel Sandoval) to L.A. with two goons. Though Catlett denies knowing what happened to Yayo or the money, it is clear that Escobar holds Catlett responsible giving him just a couple of days to find both of them or there will be fatal consequences. Desperate, Catlett confronts Palmer to get Devoe's money, kidnapping Flores and taking her to his house until the cash is delivered. Palmer arrives at the house to rescue Flores. Catlett plans to take the money and kill them both, but with Bear's help (Bear has secretly switched sides), Palmer turns the tables on Catlett and sends him flying over the balcony to his death. Something Catlett had planned for Palmer. Bones finally catches up with Palmer and demands Devoe's money. Finding the airport locker key in Palmer's coat, Bones assumes that Palmer has hid the money at the airport. When Bones goes to the airport and opens the locker, we see the federal agents close around him. The scene suddenly switches to an airport set at a movie studio. A voice addresses Bones and when he turns around, we see that the character is now portrayed by Harvey Keitel. Threatening him is Weir playing the fictional version of Palmer. Weir screws up the shot and as the movie company breaks for lunch, we see that Penny Marshall is the director and Bear a technical consultant with Zimm producing and Palmer and Flores as executive producers. There is a long helicopter pull out shot from the studio and the credits roll.
