Band of Robbers is a comedic crime drama written and directed by Aaron Nee and Adam Nee. The film premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and stars Kyle Gallner, Adam Nee, Matthew Gray Gubler, Hannibal Buress, Melissa Benoist, Daniel Mora, Eric Christian Olsen, and Stephen Lang.

A comedic adventure that re-imagines Mark Twain’s iconic literary characters of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer as grown men in current day. Petty criminal Huck Finn hopes to leave his criminal life behind when he is released from a stint in prison, but his lifelong friend, and corrupt cop, Tom Sawyer, has other plans. Not ready to give up on his childhood fantasies of wealth and adventure, Tom forms the “Band of Robbers,” recruiting their misfit friends Joe Harper and Ben Rogers, to join them for an elaborate plan to find a fabled treasure. But the plan soon unravels, thrusting the guys on a wild journey with dangerous consequences…

Speaking with the Heartland Film Festival about what lasting impression he hopes the film will leave on viewers, Adam Nee said, “We made an uncynical adventure movie with heart and laughs and characters that will stick in your head because of the wild things they say and do. If people don’t quote this movie I’ll eat all my damned shoes.”
