A police shootout leaves four thieves dead during an explosive armed robbery attempt in Chicago. Their widows, Veronica (Viola Davis), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki) and Belle (Cynthia Erivo), have nothing in common except a debt left behind by their spouses' criminal activities. Hoping to forge a future on their own terms, Veronica joins forces with the other three women to pull off a heist that her husband was planning.
"WIDOWS proves how smarts and style can elevate even the pulpiest material into something shrewd, socially attuned and bracingly observant." -Ann Hornaday (Washington Post)
