How Many Oceans 11 Movies Are There?

There are five Ocean's films released in theaters: the 1960 Ocean's Eleven, the 2001 Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen and Ocean's Eight. Counted by group, that is three Soderbergh films, the 1960 original and one spin-off (Ocean's Eight). Steven Soderbergh directed Ocean's Eleven (2001), Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen, Lewis Milestone directed the 1960 original, and Gary Ross directed Ocean's Eight. Among the five released films, release order and chronological order are the same, so either order works. If you want a viewing plan with a place to start, the Ocean's Eleven movies in order page lays it out.

Ocean's Eleven (1960), directed by Lewis Milestone, is the original heist film, a 127-minute caper starring Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Angie Dickinson fill out 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 at once: the Sahara, Riviera, Desert Inn, Sands and Flamingo. The timing is New Year's Eve, and the crew prepares like a military operation, with some of them working inside the casinos. Nelson Riddle wrote the score. Neither Box Office Mojo nor The Numbers lists a budget or gross for it.

Ocean's Eleven (2001), directed by Steven Soderbergh, starts the modern series: a 116-minute heist with George Clooney as Danny Ocean and Brad Pitt as Rusty Ryan. Danny walks out of a New Jersey prison and goes straight to planning a Las Vegas job against Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), who now dates Danny's ex-wife Tess (Julia Roberts). The target is a vault shared by three of Benedict's casinos, and the plan is timed for a big boxing match night, when the vault holds the most cash. The team includes Matt Damon as Linus Caldwell, Don Cheadle as Basher Tarr and Elliott Gould as Reuben Tishkoff. According to Box Office Mojo, it earned about $451 million worldwide on an $85 million budget.

Ocean's Twelve (2004), directed by Steven Soderbergh, is the first sequel and runs 125 minutes. Terry Benedict tracks down all eleven members of the crew and demands his money back with interest in two weeks. The crew is scattered and cannot raise that much, so they move to Europe for new jobs, and their first plans fall apart. Catherine Zeta-Jones joins as Europol detective Isabel Lahiri, who has a past with Rusty, and Vincent Cassel appears as François Toulour. A rival master thief known as the Night Fox is always a step ahead of them. Box Office Mojo lists roughly $363 million worldwide on a $110 million budget.

Ocean's Thirteen (2007), directed by Steven Soderbergh, is the third and last Soderbergh film and runs 122 minutes. It returns the action to Las Vegas, where hotel developer Willy Bank (Al Pacino) pushes Reuben Tishkoff out of a casino deal they share and leaves him with a token chip. Reuben collapses and ends up gravely ill, so Danny gathers the old crew to wreck Bank's grand opening and the new casino's chances. Ellen Barkin plays Abigail Sponder. Box Office Mojo reports about $311 million worldwide against an $85 million budget.

Ocean's Eight (2018), directed by Gary Ross, is a 111-minute spin-off led by Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean. Debbie is the sister of the late Danny Ocean, and she leaves prison with a plan years in the making: steal a priceless Cartier diamond necklace during the Met Gala in New York. She reunites with Lou (Cate Blanchett) and recruits a fashion designer, a jeweler, a hacker, a pickpocket and a suburban fence. The plan depends on getting the necklace onto the neck of the gala's host, actress Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway). Box Office Mojo lists about $298 million worldwide on a $70 million budget.

No, Ocean's Eight (2018) is a spin-off set in the same story world, not part of the Soderbergh trilogy. The link is family: Debbie is Danny's sister, the film refers to his death, and Elliott Gould returns as Reuben. The crew, the target and the lead cast are all new, which is why it counts as a spin-off rather than a fourth Soderbergh film.

No, Ocean's Thirteen (2007) is not the last Ocean's film. It closed the Soderbergh trilogy, Ocean's Eight followed in 2018, and Warner Bros. dated an untitled Ocean's Eleven prequel for June 25, 2027, according to Variety. Bradley Cooper writes and directs, and Margot Robbie stars. Monaco Life reports that the story is set at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix and centers on Danny Ocean's parents, played by Robbie and Cooper, and that filming was set to begin in August 2026. The film has no official title yet, and the full status is on the Ocean's Eleven prequel page.

No film called Ocean's 11/2 exists, and Ocean's 14 is an unconfirmed rumor. The sequel to the 2001 film is titled Ocean's Twelve, which is the likeliest source of the "11/2" joke. As for Ocean's 14, TheWrap reported in January 2025, citing an insider, that David Leitch was in talks to direct it with George Clooney and Brad Pitt expected to return, and in November 2025 it reported that Andy Garcia said he would come back as Terry Benedict. Warner Bros. had no comment, and the status remains unconfirmed.
