Han Solo finds himself in debt to the ruthless crime lord Jabba the Hutt and a bounty on his head.

The plan promises enough payoff to settle his debts and free himself from the Hutts’ shadow. Can this crew pull off the heist the galaxy has never seen, or will their crime cost them more than the bounty?
