What Are the Ocean's Eleven Movies?

The Ocean's Eleven movies are a heist series of five films: the 1960 original, Steven Soderbergh's trilogy (2001, 2004, 2007) and the spin-off Ocean's Eight (2018). Each one follows a crew of specialists who rob a target built to be unrobbable. The four films with a recorded worldwide gross have earned about $1.42 billion between them, according to Box Office Mojo and The Numbers, and no gross is listed for the 1960 film.

Ocean's Eleven (1960), directed by Lewis Milestone, starred Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean, with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Angie Dickinson in the cast. Danny and Jimmy Foster, two Second World War veterans from the same airborne unit, bring nine former comrades to Las Vegas to rob five casinos on the Strip (the Sahara, Riviera, Desert Inn, Sands and Flamingo) at the same moment on New Year's Eve. They run it like a military operation: some take jobs inside the casinos, one drives a garbage truck and another performs in a hotel lounge. Nelson Riddle wrote the score, and Dean Martin sings the film's kick-in-the-head number. The runtime is 127 minutes.

Ocean's Eleven (2001), directed by Steven Soderbergh, is the reboot most people mean when they search for Ocean's 11. George Clooney plays Danny Ocean, fresh out of a New Jersey prison, and Brad Pitt plays his old partner Rusty Ryan. Their target is a vault shared by three casinos owned by Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), who is now dating Danny's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts). Matt Damon plays Linus Caldwell, and the plan is timed for a boxing match night, when the vault holds the most cash. The film cost $85 million and took $451 million worldwide, the best result in the series.

The rest of the saga runs on the same engine: a target, a crew with one specialty apiece and a plan that only works if every piece lands on the same night. Ocean's Twelve (2004) moves the crew to Europe, Ocean's Thirteen (2007) returns to Las Vegas for a revenge job, and Ocean's Eight (2018), directed by Gary Ross, follows Danny's sister Debbie Ocean through a theft at the Met Gala. The years and runtimes sit on the full Ocean's Eleven film list.

Ocean's Eleven Movies in Order: Where Should You Start?

Start with Ocean's Eleven (2001), then watch Ocean's Twelve (2004), Ocean's Thirteen (2007) and Ocean's Eight (2018), treating Ocean's Eleven (1960) as an optional companion. The full release order is Ocean's Eleven (1960), Ocean's Eleven (2001), Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen and Ocean's Eight, and release order and chronological order match for that five-film list, although the 1960 film is a separate continuity. A line of context for each film is on Ocean's Eleven movies in order.

Why begin in 2001? In my opinion, it is the right door, because it introduces Danny, Rusty, Linus and Terry Benedict and sets up the characters the next two films reuse. The 1960 film has its own Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra), so it works as a companion rather than a prerequisite.

The middle of the saga is tightly linked. Ocean's Twelve opens with Benedict tracking down all eleven members of the old crew and demanding his money back, with interest, in two weeks, so it only lands if you have seen the vault job first. Ocean's Thirteen builds on a Las Vegas partnership between Reuben Tishkoff and Willy Bank, and Elliott Gould's Reuben is the emotional hook.

Ocean's Eight is the easiest film to jump into, since it stands on its own heist at the Met Gala and ties back to the trilogy through Debbie Ocean being the sister of Danny Ocean. That being said, I would still watch it last, because the connections feel more rewarding that way. If you want the story laid out by event instead of by film, the Ocean's Eleven timeline covers it, and the planned prequel will join the lists once it is released.

What Is the Untitled Ocean's Eleven Prequel and When Is It Out?

The next Ocean's film is an untitled Ocean's Eleven prequel that Warner Bros. dated for June 25, 2027 in the United States, and it is in production. Warner Bros. announced the date at CinemaCon on April 14, 2026, according to Variety Australia. The Ocean's Eleven prequel page tracks the status as it changes.

Bradley Cooper is in talks to write and direct, and to star opposite Margot Robbie, per Variety. The trade reported in March 2026 that he was at the top of the list for the job after Lee Isaac Chung exited. Carrie Solomon is reported as a writer, and Robbie's LuckyChap is producing for Warner Bros. Wagner Moura, Monica Barbaro and Josh Gad are reported in the cast by Monaco Life, and the studio has not confirmed any of those casting reports.

Production has been visible on the Riviera. Monaco Life reported that filming was scheduled for August 24 to 28, 2026 at Darse Sud and the Esplanade des Pêcheurs, with more shooting in Nice and a wider Riviera schedule expected to run into October. Further Monaco shoot days were reported in October 2026, though the studio has not confirmed the dates. The same outlet reports a plot set at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix about Danny Ocean's parents, with Robbie said to have confirmed it, and that Moura plays the principal villain. Treat both as reports, not announcements.

Separately, TheWrap reported in January 2025, citing an insider, that David Leitch was in talks to direct an Ocean's 14 with George Clooney and Brad Pitt expected to return. In November 2025 TheWrap also reported Andy Garcia saying he would come back as Terry Benedict in Ocean's 14, and Warner Bros. had no comment. Both items are unconfirmed. For footage, the Ocean's Eleven prequel trailer page will carry any official release.

In Ocean's Eight, Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) leads, with Lou (Cate Blanchett) and Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway).
