SINOPSE

Bait is a 2000 American action comedy film starring Jamie Foxx and David Morse. It was directed by Antoine Fuqua. In the film, a petty thief shares a prison cell with a man who stole millions in gold from the Federal Reserve. The robber dies of natural causes, leaving behind a cryptic message concerning the location of his loot. The authorities decide to release his cellmate, to use him as bait against the deceased's dangerous former partner. The film was released on September 15, 2000. It received generally negative reviews from critics and was a huge financial failure for Warner Bros. Pictures, grossing just $15 million against its $51 million budget.
