4 young black women smile at each over leaning on top of a large pile of money of the bonnet of a car.

About Set It Off

When four best friends Frankie (Vivica A. Fox), Tisean (Kimberly Elise), Cleo (Queen Latifah), and Stony (Jada Pinkett) find themselves in a financial bind, they need to come up with a way to make money - and fast. With disguises and getaway cars, a plan to rob banks is born, going to great lengths to beat the systems that have worked against them, all while law enforcement is hot on their trail.

Set It Off is a beloved 90s cult classic, reclaiming and transcending the male dominated heist film genre by centering the unshakable bond between women.

Art of Action

MAC joins forces with Reclaim The Frame for a season of films centring women of colour working in the action genre.
