About the Film

The Town is a 2010 American crime thriller directed by and starring Ben Affleck, based on Chuck Hogan's novel Prince of Thieves. Affleck plays Doug MacRay, a career bank robber from the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston — the real-life "bank robbery capital of America" — who falls for a bank manager named Claire, played by Rebecca Hall, whom his crew took hostage during their last job. As Doug plans one final heist to escape Charlestown and his criminal life, the FBI agent investigating his crew, played by Jon Hamm, closes in, and Doug's volatile best friend Jem, played by Jeremy Renner, refuses to let him walk away.

Ben Affleck's direction was precise and atmospheric, capturing Charlestown's working-class tribal loyalty with the same insider knowledge Scorsese brought to Little Italy. Jeremy Renner earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor as the terrifyingly unpredictable Jem. The Town earned $154 million worldwide on a $37 million budget.
