Story:
Ben Stiller plays Josh Kovaks, the devoted building supervisor at The Towers, an upscale New York City condo complex, catering to the needs of the wealthy residents who call The Towers home. Josh spearheads a heist after learning that he and his fellow employees have been bilked out of their pensions and life savings in a Ponzi scheme by the pretentiously self-serving Arthur Shaw, the billionaire Wall Street titan who lives in the building's penthouse.
