Stanley Tucci Joins New Prime Video Heist Series About the Mona Lisa

Oscar-nominated actor Stanley Tucci is set to headline an exciting new heist series for Prime Video. The upcoming show, titled Masterplan, brings together international talent and promises a mix of humor, family drama, and high-stakes crime — all centered around the world’s most famous painting, the Mona Lisa.

The series is directed by Thomas Vincent, known for his work on the hit action series Reacher. With Tucci leading the cast, expectations are already high for this unique international production.

In Masterplan, Tucci plays a legendary art thief who wants to steal the Mona Lisa. But this is not just another crime story. The character recruits two young strangers to help him — only to reveal that they are actually his long-lost children.

The two siblings are:

• Victor Belmondo

• Simona Tabasco

Belmondo plays a confident French explosives expert, while Tabasco portrays a smart Italian cybercrime specialist. Together, they must work as a team — despite their complicated family reunion — to attempt what is described as “the heist of the century.”

According to the official synopsis, the story blends comedy, emotional tension, and thrilling action as this newly formed family tries not to destroy each other before completing their ambitious plan.

Stanley Tucci Calls It a Dream Role

Tucci has openly praised the project, describing the script as “incredibly funny and weird.” He said it is one of the best characters he has ever read and called it “an actor’s dream.”

The actor also spoke highly of the international cast and director, mentioning the beautiful filming locations and strong creative team behind the series.

This co-production between France and Italy gives the show a global feel, which fits perfectly with the storyline involving international crime and cultural icons.
