After professional thief Jack Tulliver and his crew pull off a meticulously planned armored vehicle heist, they are ambushed in Bucharest by a group of Romanian racketeers.

This rogue group, tipped off to the heist by an unknown turncoat, kills Tulliver's associate Bull and most of his crew.

Tulliver escapes with a mysterious sealed case that was the most valuable part of the stolen loot.

During the aftermath, Tulliver and Anders learn that the sealed case contained an actual valuable painting that was originally believed to be a forgery.

Despite action star Wesley Snipes heading the film, 7 Seconds was a failure in the DVD market and received bad reviews, described as "drivel"[2] with "sloppy screenwriting".
