What is Mad Money Movie About?

Mad Money is a comedy film centered on a high-stakes heist orchestrated by three unlikely women at a Federal Reserve Bank, driven by financial desperation.

The movie's plot unfolds as Bridget Cardigan (portrayed by Diane Keaton), an upper-crust housewife, finds her comfortable life upended when her husband unexpectedly loses his job. Facing severe financial hardship, Bridget is compelled to take a job as a janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Missouri.

The Audacious Plan

While working at the bank, Bridget, with her keen observations, spots a significant weakness within the bank's security system. Realizing the potential for a daring scheme, she devises a plan to steal money that is already earmarked for destruction. This isn't just any money; these are worn-out bills scheduled to be shredded, making them an enticing target as, in theory, their disappearance wouldn't be immediately traced to a "loss."

To pull off this audacious feat, Bridget enlists the help of two new friends she makes at the bank: Nina (played by Queen Latifah) and Jackie (played by Katie Holmes). Together, these three women form an unlikely trio, combining their unique skills and access to execute the intricate plot to steal a fortune in old bills.

The narrative follows their humorous and suspenseful attempts to navigate the strict security protocols of the Federal Reserve, manage their personal lives, and keep their secret safe as they try to pull off what they hope will be the ultimate financial windfall.
