It's "Robin Hood" meets "Ocean's Eleven" on "Leverage," TNT's stylishly clever new series that follows a
team of thieves, hackers and grifters who join forces to take revenge against
those who use power and wealth to victimize others. The fast-paced drama mixes
suspense, action ... moreand humor as the team executes masterful scams, con games and
double crosses in the name of justice. "Leverage" airs Tuesdays at 10
p.m. ET/PT on TNT.
Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton plays former insurance investigator
Nate Ford, a once-loyal corporate employee who has recovered millions of dollars
in stolen goods for his employer. After the employer denies his son's insurance
claims and allows the boy to die, Ford realizes he can no longer work for the
company. Out of work and unable to get past his grief, Ford is hired by an
aeronautics executive to recover airplane designs the executive claims were
stolen by a rival. He assembles four highly skilled team members: Parker (Beth Riesgraf), an expert thief; Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge), a specialist in Internet and computer fraud;
Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane), a high-octane "retrieval specialist" who
can take out a gang of henchmen without breaking a sweat; and Sophie Devereaux
(Gina Bellman), a grifter who could win awards for her acting
skills during difficult scams.
