The Trust is a 2016 American crime drama film directed by Alex and Ben Brewer, written by Ben Brewer and Adam Hirsch, and starring Nicolas Cage, Elijah Wood, Sky Ferreira, Jerry Lewis, Kevin Weisman and Steven Williams.

Using his vacation days, Jim conducts unapproved undercover surveillance at the hotel where the drug dealer works.

David acquires blueprints from the county planning office and discovers that the gang has built a large safe in the back of an industrial freezer in the building.

They also buy black market firearms to use instead of their service pistols, paying for everything with illegally acquired cash from a corrupt colleague.

When the door is opened, the two discover that the high-tech vault is filled with extraordinary high-value gems and cash.

They decide to return to the apartment to clean up, in preparation to leave, and David locks the safe behind him as the two go back upstairs.

She asks David to call her husband, so she can make sure that her 3-year-old son is taken care of—David agrees and the woman has a very brief conversation with whoever answers the phone.

David returns all the valuables back into the safe and loads the woman hostage into the van, promising her that he will release her when they get far enough away from the city.

On May 14, 2014, Nicolas Cage and Jack Huston joined the prospective cast,[2] the latter for the co-leading role eventually assigned to Elijah Wood.

The critical consensus states: "The Trust may not be an all-time heist classic, but its solidly workmanlike plot -- and the chemistry between Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood -- should satisfy genre enthusiasts.
