The action drama “American Heist” — based on the 1959 film “The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery” — is coming to free streaming service Plex on July 1. The film stars Oscar winner Adrien Brody as a convicted felon that tries to drag his brother James — played by Hayden Christensen — back into a life of crime. Brody plays Frank, who took the rap for a crime that he committed with his brother.
While Frank served time, James turned his life around, getting a job as a mechanic and beginning a healthy relationship with his girlfriend Emily. Now that Frank has been released, he wants to resume his former life, alongside his brother.

Also coming to the service in July is the documentary “Amy.” The film chronicles the talented, but tormented, British singer Amy Winehouse. The vocalist found success at a young age, but battled addiction to drugs and alcohol before dying at the age of 27 in 2011. “Amy” begins streaming on July 26.
