Because Ben needs money to go to Harvard Med School, he joins five other students, including good-looking Jill (Kate Bosworth), in a group lead by a math prof (Spacey). They then start using an elaborate card-counting scheme to win big at Vegas blackjack tables, but they run afoul of a casino security expert (Fishburne). Selected DVD Special Features:
