"21" is the fact-based story about
six MIT students who were trained to become experts in card counting
and subsequently took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings.
Ben Campbell is a young, highly
intelligent, student at M.I.T. in Boston who strives to succeed.
Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine with
the desire to become a doctor, Ben learns that he cannot afford the
$300,000 for the four to five years of school since he comes from a
poor, working-class background. But one evening, Ben is introduced by
his unorthodox math professor Micky Rosa into a small but secretive
club of five students, Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Jimmy whom are being
trained by Professor Rosa of the skill of card counting at blackjack.
Intriged by the desire to make money, Ben joins his new friends on
secret weekend trips to Las Vegas where, using their skills of code
talk and hand signals, they have Ben make hundreds of thousands of
dollars in winning blackjack at casino after casino. Ben only wants to
make enough money for the tuition to Harvard and then back out. But as
fellow card counter, Jill Taylor, predicts, Ben becomes corrupted by
greed and his arrogance at winning which lets his feelings get in the
way, and it also puts Professor Rosa, as well as the group, on the
radar of a brutal casino security enforcer, named Cole Williams, who
holds a personal grudge of some kind against Rosa which threatens to
undo everything the students have learned and earned.
