According to Wikipedia: “Childhood friends Spencer and Warren rebel against their suburban upbringing. The two, alongside two other fellow students, plot to steal priceless Audubon prints and rare books from Transylvania University’s special collections library.” The tagline is “Nobody Wants To Be Ordinary”.

With no witnesses and no fingerprints, it was reported the thieves could have taken $5 million in stolen property! It was later known as one of the F.B.I.’s all-time most significant art-theft cases.
