Here's a breakdown:
* The Four Horsemen's initial heist: The film begins with their first big performance, which takes place during a magic show in Las Vegas.
* The FBI investigation: The bulk of the investigation into the Four Horsemen's activities unfolds in Las Vegas, including the FBI headquarters and various locations around the city.
* The Horsemen's second and third heists: Both of their subsequent heists happen in different locations:
* The second heist takes place at a Parisian casino owned by Arthur Tressler (the main antagonist).
* The third heist takes place at an unspecified high-end location, where the Four Horsemen expose Tressler's criminal activities and retrieve the stolen money.
Other locations: While Las Vegas is the primary setting, the film does include brief scenes in other locations, such as:
* New Orleans: The film briefly shows the Four Horsemen meeting in New Orleans before their first heist.
* Europe: There are hints that some of the characters have connections to Europe, particularly the character of Dylan Rhodes.
Overall, Las Vegas serves as the central hub of the story and is where the majority of the action and intrigue take place. The city's glitz, glamour, and reputation for magic and illusion add to the film's atmosphere and contribute to the sense of wonder and mystery surrounding the Four Horsemen's acts.
