Over the course of his long career in Hollywood, John Travolta has played his fair share of cops. In High Rollers, though, Travolta is on the other side of the law, playing a master thief who is living the high life. As the first trailer for the movie reveals, though, his good life can’t last forever.

In the trailer, we see Travolta’s thief Mason arm-in-arm with Gina Gershon’s Deckard, but when she is kidnapped by his nemesis, Mason is forced to execute a nearly impossible casino heist in exchange for her safe return. It’s a little Ocean’s 11, but with a kidnapping twist.

According to the official synopsis: “Master thief Mason (John Travolta) is living the criminal’s dream: island-hopping with his crew and the love of his life, Decker (Gina Gershon), while floating on a sea of stolen cash. But his dream is shattered when his nemesis, the ruthless Salazar, kidnaps Decker and forces Mason and his crew to attempt a near-impossible casino heist in exchange for her return. Hedged in by Salazar’s equally ruthless rivals, and with the FBI on his tail, Mason gambles everything in pursuit of both the big score and the ultimate jackpot: Decker’s life.”

Directed by Chris Sivertson, the movie also stars Lukas Haas and Quavo. Travolta has been working for Hollywood for five decades now, and this kind of action blockbuster is a reminder of his longevity, and the ups and downs that he’s experienced over the course of that long career.

The franchise has become a massive success after launching quietly in 2014
A still of Keanu Reeves in "John Wick"

After bursting into theaters in 2014 and gradually becoming a blockbuster franchise, the John Wick franchise is now expanding outside of its central character. This comes after John Wick: Chapter 4 gave the character a rather fitting ending, and as we eagerly anticipate the release of Ballerina: From the World of John Wick, which stars Ana de Armas.

As for whether we might see another proper John Wick movie at some point, star Keanu Reeves has been relatively reticent. In an interview with CBS News, Reeves said that he might have aged out of the kind of physical work the role demands. “You can never say never,” Reeves said. “My knees right now are saying ‘I can’t do another John Wick."

The best ’70s movies: Stream these must-see classics that defined the decade
Star Wars isn't the only big hit to remember from the 70s
Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway in Chinatown.

The 1970s are often romanticized in American pop culture for good reason. Video games started blooming for the masses, rock and disco music was all the rage, with some of the best artists of all time dominating the charts, and Hollywood ushered in a novel era of storytelling and superstars. Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert De Niro are just a few of the iconic names that made this decade one of cinema's finest yet.

It's hard to believe that this incredible period is 50 years in the rearview mirror now. Even with several new generations of filmmakers creating novel series and building on older techniques since then, the 1970s represent a legendary pinnacle for genres like the mobster film and science fiction movies. Without the special effects of today, these films from the past were forced to hone in on the essence of their story with great writing and crafty direction behind the camera. These are the best 70s movies to relive over again on streaming.

It's been 22 years since 28 Days Later first debuted, and the movie's cult status has only grown in the decades since. Now, we've got our first look at 28 Years Later, the third movie in the surprising trilogy that is presumably set 28 years after the outbreak of what is described in the film as the "rage virus."

The movie stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes, and the trailer gives us extended looks at each of them. While the trailer doesn't detail much of the plot, the movie's official synopsis says: "It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well."
