The Hustlers are planning to come for grabbing all the riches, in one of the wildest movie trailers of the year.

Jennifer Lopez leads the titular band of pole-dancing, financial-scheming, bold bandidas in the first official preview of director Lorene Scafaria’s upcoming ensemble drama. The film stars Constance Wu, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Madeline Brewer, Mercedes Ruehl, Lizzo, and Cardi B (whose song “Money” soundtracks the just-released clip).

The film is adapted from journalist Jessica Pressler’s 2015 New York magazine article “The Hustlers at Scores,” the film follows a group of strip club employees (based on real-life exotic dancers) who join forces to con money from their wealthy clients in a revenge saga set against the backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis.

In the middle of the spectacular skin-flashing and manhandling, Hustlers are able to center on Destiny (Wu), a well-intentioned woman who is looking to provide for her financially struggling family and looks to professional stripper Ramona (Lopez) to hone her skills as a pole dancer. But, her new mentor has an agenda, she wants to use Destiny’s charisma for something else, too.

“These Wall Street guys, you see what they did to this country? They stole from everybody. Hard-working people lost everything, and not one of these douchebags went to jail,” Ramona says in the trailer, referencing the housing market crash that played out across the late 2000s. “The game is rigged, and it does not reward people who play by the rules. It’s like robbing a bank, except you get the keys. Are you in?”

Destiny decides to follow the advice and she soon finds herself helping her new sisterhood swipe credit cards and grab funds.

“What if somebody calls the cops?” a nervous accomplice asks Ramona. “And says what?” she responds, mocking her victims. “‘I spent $5,000 at a strip club! Send help!’”

Hustlers also stars Julia Stiles as a Pressler-esque character writing a story on the group. The film will be ready to feature in theaters on Friday, September 13.
