21 Movie

“21” Blackjack Movie Plot

21 is a movie based on the experience of 6 MIT students who learned to count cards in secret MIT classroom meetings. They ended up winning millions by playing blackjack in Las Vegas casino.

Making the 21 Movie

The movie was shot in Las Vegas and Boston. In reality, most of the MIT Team members were asian but in the movie they are portrayed by white actors. Many thought of this as Hollywood trying to appeal to a wider audience and had a “stereotypical” casting process.
