George Clooney's Danny Ocean and his OG crew of hipster hustlers returned to the 2004 sequel Ocean's Twelve for another series of heists and sticky situations that come with them.
The "Twelve" robbed five casinos in a single night, pulling one of the most lucrative heists in the history of Las Vegas. But the gang is running out of cash from their previous thievery, and to add more chaos, someone broke "Rule Number One," revealing another thief's identity.
So now, the ruthless boss they robbed wants his money back, but without the cash, the crew is forced to pull off another massive heist to come up with millions. This time, George Clooney's Danny leads the team from Las Vegas to Europe.
Besides the star-studded cast and the thrill of thieving, another appealing part of Ocean's Twelve is the funky and gritty riffs that match the thrilling heist scenes and funny dialogues in the movie. It features a mixed bunch of tracks, from the melodic Lazy by Yellow Hammer to the original compositions and lounge tunes by David Holmes.

Ocean's Twelve quoted Led Zeppelin's Kashmir
While Led Zeppelin's 1975 hit Kashmir, the sixth track in the English rock band's sixth studio album called Physical Graffiti wasn't used as a song in Ocean's Twelve, a line from its lyrics was quoted in the movie.
In the "Lost in Translation" scene, which is a con, Danny Ocean (played by George Clooney), Rusty Ryan (played by Brad Pitt) and Matsui (played by Robbie Coltrane) pull a prank on Linus Caldwell (played by Matt Damon). The three start speaking in riddles, making Linus feel like he has no idea what they are talking about, when, in fact, they are only speaking gibberish.
When it was Linus's time to speak, he quoted the lyrics from Led Zeppelin's Kashmir:
"Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams/ I'm a traveler in both time and space, to be where I have been."
Ocean's Twelve is available on Prime Video and Apple TV with rent and purchase options.
