The plot of Brothers

The plot of the movie revolves around two fraternal twins, who are far from regular siblings. Moke (played by Brolin) is a formal criminal who is now attempting to return to a normal life, abstaining from any criminal activities. But, no heist action-comedy movie is ever complete without a character trying to do something out of the ordinary. Jady (played by Peter Dinklage) drags Moke into a high-stakes heist.

The story follows the two brothers as they embark on a road trip across the country. But, this is not a normal road trip. They have to dodge bullets, save themselves from the law, and their overbearing mother along the way. The goal? To pull off the heist of a lifetime, and hopefully to fix their scarred relationship. The brothers must confront old wounds and learn how to get along before they end up killing each other.

The movie leans more towards comedy than the serious elements like crime. It is a light-hearted story that offers a mix of physical stunts and character-driven humor. The relationship dynamic between the two brothers is a key element of the plot. Hence, the highlight of the movie is their quirky personalities and brotherly banter.
