The Tower Heist is not a great movie but it is a lot of fun. Josh, Charlie, Lester and other employees of The Tower learn that their savings are lost. They had ask Arthur Shaw (perfectly portrayed by Alan Alda) to invest their pensions after being told he could triple their portfolios. Shaw has been arrested and is being investigated for fraud. The FBI can't find the money Shaw has been hiding for a quick get away.
Josh, Charlie and Fitzhugh hire Slide, an ex-con, to steal back the hidden money. Slide is played by Eddie Murphy who is at his best in this type of comedic crook role. The Tower Heist is a mindless romp but it is very timely. Many people have suffered financial losses at the hands of unethical investors. Hooray for the little guys who even the score!
