The Town is a new crime film starring Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Hall and Owen Burke and sees Affleck in his second pop at directing. It's set in a suburb of Boston called Charlestown and sees a couple of robbers who have a history of robbery heists planning a new heist which takes a drastic turn and leads them into realising they must leave Charlestown so they can avoid being in the grasp of "The Town".

The only family Doug (Ben Affleck) has are his partners in crime, especially Jem (Jeremy Renner), who, despite his dangerous, hair-trigger temper, is the closest thing Doug ever had to a brother. However, everything changed on the gang's last job when Jem briefly took a hostage: bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). When they discover Claire lives in Charlestown, Jem gets nervous and wants to check out what she might have seen. Knowing what Jem is capable of, Doug takes charge. He seeks out Claire, who has no idea that their encounter is not by chance or that this charming stranger is one of the men who terrorized her only days before. As his relationship with Claire deepens into a passionate romance, Doug wants out of this life and the town. But with the Feds closing in and Jem questioning his loyalty, Doug realizes that getting out will not be easy and, worse, may put Claire in the line of fire. Any choices he once had have boiled down to one: betray his friends or lose the woman he loves. "The Town" is a dramatic thriller about robbers and cops, friendship and betrayal, love and hope, and escaping a past that has no future.
