About American Animals
Spencer Reinhard, Warren Lipka, Eric Borsuk and Chas Allen are
four friends who live an ordinary existence in Kentucky. After a
visit to Transylvania University, Lipka comes up with the idea to
steal the rarest and most valuable books from the school's library.
As one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history starts to
unfold, the men question whether their attempts to inject
excitement and purpose into their lives are simply misguided
attempts at achieving the American dream.
