Inside Man: Most Wanted (2019) is a crime thriller and a sequel to Spike Lee's 2006 heist film Inside Man. Directed by MJ Bassett, this direct-to-video installment follows a similar high-stakes hostage situation but with a new cast and a fresh twist.
When a group of ruthless criminals led by the cunning and enigmatic Ariella Barash (Roxanne McKee) infiltrates the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, they take hostages, including top officials and security personnel. Their goal? To steal billions in untraceable, confiscated assets stored in the vault.
FBI agent Bryant (Aml Ameen) and NYPD negotiator Remi Darbonne (Rhea Seehorn) are called in to handle the crisis. As they attempt to outmaneuver the robbers, they realize this is no ordinary heist—Ariella and her crew are highly trained, strategic, and always one step ahead.
Meanwhile, Reggie King (Teyonah Parris), an undercover Treasury investigator already embedded in the bank, becomes a wild card in the standoff. As the tension escalates, secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and the true mastermind behind the robbery is revealed.
