Clear your schedule and keep one eye on the freeway—Crime 101 is gearing up to be one slick, sun-soaked thrill ride.

Amazon/MGM Studios just dropped the trailer and poster for the upcoming R-rated crime drama from writer-director Bart Layton, based on the novella by Don Winslow, and it looks to be a high-stakes game of cat and mouse you won’t want to miss. You can check them both out below.

Set in the gritty glow of Los Angeles, the film follows a master jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth), a burned-out insurance broker at a crossroads (Halle Berry), and a laser-focused detective (Mark Ruffalo) who’s convinced he’s cracked the code.

With an all-star supporting cast and tension to spare, Crime 101 hits theaters exclusively on February 13. Until then, watch the trailer below and check out the poster—it’s time to learn the rules.

Crime 101

“I'm real good at meeting people."

Synopsis: Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realization that there can be no turning back.
