Sneak Peek footage from director Michael Bay's upcoming black comedy, "Pain & Gain", based on a true story.
Written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the film is based on a 1999 series of 'Miami New Times' articles by investigative journalist Pete Collins about "...a couple of Florida steroid-abusing knucklehead bodybuilders who become criminals involved in an extortion ring and a kidnapping plot that goes horribly wrong..."
"...'Daniel Lugo' (Mark Wahlberg) is a regular bodybuilder who works at the 'Sun Gym' along with his friend 'Adrian Doorbal' (Anthony Mackie). Sick of living the poor life Lugo concocts a plan to kidnap 'Victor Kershaw' (Tony Shalhoub), a regular at the gym and a rich spoiled business man, and extort him. With the help of recently released criminal Paul Doyle' (Dwayne Johnson), the 'Sun Gym Gang' successfully gets Kershaw to sign over all his finances, but when Kershaw survives an attempted murder, he hires private investigator 'Ed Du Bois' (Ed Harris) to catch the criminals after the Miami Police Department fails to do so..."
