Its plot flashes back as Domino (Keira Knightley), a fashion model turned bounty hunter, narrates how a $10 million robbery came about 36 hours before.

Supporting actors include Mickey Rourke, Édgar Ramírez, Delroy Lindo, Mena Suvari, Mo'Nique, Lucy Liu, and Christopher Walken.

Domino Harvey, a bounty hunter, has been arrested by the FBI, investigating the theft of $10 million from an armored truck.

Domino explains her profession and the events leading up to the theft with Mills occasionally prompting her to give more detail.

They are employed by Claremont Williams III, a bail bondsman who also runs an armored car business, and whose mistress, Lateesha Rodriguez, works for the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

A teenager named Frances arrives at the DMV and asks Lateesha for fake licenses for himself, his brother, and two of their friends.

Lateesha throws them off the trail by saying that Frances, his brother, and his two friends are going to commit the armored car robbery when in reality she and Claremont are doing it themselves.

Claremont has the bounty hunters apprehend Frances, his brother, and his two friends and then tells them to deliver them to men working for Drake Bishop.

The (nearly) $10 million in boxes is delivered to Afghanistan and opened by celebrating children in the streets, Mica gets her $300,000 operation, and Domino shares a moment with her mother.

In 1994 director Tony Scott was sent an article from the British newspaper The Mail on Sunday by his business manager Neville Shulman.

The article, written by Sacha Gervasi and titled My gun for hire: Why a movie star's rebel daughter turned into a bounty hunter, was about an English woman named Domino Harvey who was working as a bounty hunter, apprehending fugitives who had skipped bail for the Celes King Bail Bond agency in South Central Los Angeles.

20th Century Fox, which had a first refusal deal on the project, turned it down[6] and in the end the film was financed by New Line Cinema.

Finally, Richard Kelly was asked to write the screenplay after Scott read his script for Southland Tales.

[11] In discussing the finished product, Kelly commented that "...Domino might be one of the most subversive films released by a major studio since Fight Club".

[12] Tony Scott thought of Keira Knightley for the role of Domino after seeing her in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

[15] During the final week of production, scenes were filmed over six days at the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

[18] Filming concluded on December 22, 2004, after scenes were shot at the intersection of South Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue.

The site's consensus states: "The life story of model-turned-bounty-hunter Domino Harvey struggles to get out of this overwrought and excessive biopic.

[23] Kenneth Turan in the Los Angeles Times also criticized the story, saying that the film was "so over-plotted that it's borderline incomprehensible".

[25] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times also wrote a positive review, giving the film three stars and saying he admired it.
