Poker Face movie storyline. “Maximize your wins, minimize your losses, and stay in the game as long as you can”. This closing dialogue from the trailer somewhat summarizes the story of Poker Face, drawing parallels between the game of life and poker.
The story follows Jake Foley, a 57-year-old tech billionaire and gambler who hosts a poker night at his luxurious Miami estate. To attend his game, he has invited his old friends and acquaintances, each of whom, as we can guess, has some history with Jake. He wants his friends to have the night of their lives, and win big money, in numbers they have never imagined.
Tech billionaire and gambler Jake Foley (Crowe) hosts a high-stakes poker game between childhood friends, offering them the chance to win more money than they’ve ever dreamed of. The evening takes a turn when he unveils his elaborate plan seeking revenge for their betrayals and to play, they’ll have to give up the one thing they’ve spent their lives trying to keep…their secrets. As the game unfolds, thieves break in and they must band together to survive a night of terror.
