A Texas Twist: Matthew McConaughey Joins the Fun

Adding to the unexpected excitement, Texas’ own Matthew McConaughey popped in to host the post-screening discussion. In true McConaughey fashion—charming and full of Southern flair—the actor led a lively conversation with Butler and Aronofsky, giving audiences an intimate look at the behind-the-scenes madness of making Caught Stealing.

A Plot That Pitches You Into Mayhem

In Caught Stealing, Austin Butler plays Hank Thompson, a former high-school baseball phenom who’s traded fastballs for bar shifts in New York. With a solid girlfriend (played by Zoë Kravitz) and a quiet life, things seem calm—until a punk neighbor (played by Matt Smith) leaves him in charge of a cat.

Simple, right? Not quite.

Soon, Hank finds himself pursued by a bizarre parade of gangsters, thugs, and crooks—each more dangerous than the last. But why they’re after him remains a mystery. As the chaos unfolds, Hank has to rely on his instincts and hustle to stay alive and unravel the truth.
