Lucky Star: Fugitive in $10M Heist Evades FBI

Anya Taylor-Joy stars in a new Apple TV+ thriller as Lucky, a woman on the run after stealing $10 million. The series opens in Las Vegas the morning after the audacious heist, where Lucky celebrates her ill-gotten gains but is soon betrayed by a loved one. This betrayal plunges her into a desperate flight from both the FBI and the enforcers of a crime boss. Her perilous situation is complicated by the criminal debts incurred by her father, John Armstrong, whose influence and advice continue to shape her actions.

Lucky's past actions, described as a "series of bad decisions," haunt her as she tries to escape her father's criminal legacy. Despite her efforts to go straight, she is continually drawn back into dangerous situations. Taylor-Joy portrays Lucky with an intensity reminiscent of her role in 'The Queen's Gambit,' embodying a character who resists being easily defined. The show promises cat-and-mouse thrills, explosive set-pieces, and moral ambiguity as Lucky uses her skills and adaptability to survive.
