Two thousand years ago, Antony gave Cleopatra three jeweled eggs as a wedding gift to symbolize her devotion. The eggs are lost to time until a farmer finds two in 1907, but the last one remains missing.

In 2021, Special Agent John Hartley, an FBI criminal profiler, is assigned to help Interpol agent Urvashi Das investigate the possible theft of one of the eggs on display at the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome after being informed that there may be a plan to steal it and that it may already have been stolen. The head of security dismisses concerns after they arrive and the egg appears to still be there, but Hartley determines that the egg on display is a fake and the real egg has been stolen, so Das has the room locked down. However, before the room is sealed, international art thief Nolan Booth manages to escape, pursued by Hartley. Booth eventually escapes to his home in Bali with the egg, but finds Hartley waiting for him, along with Das and an Interpol strike team. Booth is arrested and the egg is taken. Unbeknownst to anyone, Booth's main competition, Sarah Black, aka "The Bishop", disguises herself as one of the strike team members and swaps the real egg with another fake in the back of the vehicle. The next day, Das confronts Hartley believing that he is responsible for the theft of the egg. As a result, he has him imprisoned in a remote Russian prison in the same cell as Booth.

Shortly after their arrival, they are taken to Black, where she proposes to Booth that they work together to find the third egg, revealing to Hartley that she does, in fact, know of its whereabouts. Booth declines her modest offer and she leaves saying that she will find the second egg; when she does, she warns that her part will be less. Hartley suggests that he and Booth work together to defeat Black. If Booth helps him put Black in jail, Booth will take her place as the number one art thief in the world. The pair escape from prison and head to Valencia to steal the second egg, in the possession of notorious arms dealer Sotto Voce, who is having a masquerade ball. There, they meet Black, who also intends to steal it. The three arrive at Voce's vault, where Hartley and Booth fight Black using a variety of melee weapons that are on display in the vault before she handcuffs them. Voce arrives with his security team and stops the men while Black reveals that she and Voce are working together.

They torture Hartley and believing that Booth has divulged the location of the third egg, Black betrays Voce and goes to Egypt, where Booth says he is. After leaving Valencia, Booth reveals to Hartley that the egg is in fact in Argentina, a place only he knows, as it was inscribed on his late father's beloved watch that once belonged to Adolf Hitler's staff. . art curator Rudolph Zeich. After the fall of the Third Reich in 1945, Zeich fled from Europe to Argentina with the egg. The duo search the jungles of Argentina where they find a secret bunker. Inside are countless Nazi Germany artifacts, among them the third egg. Black arrives to steal the duo's egg at gunpoint, only to be interrupted by the arrival of Das and a team of local police. Hartley, Booth, and Black escape in an old 1931 Mercedes-Benz 770, driving through an abandoned copper mine near the bunker, being pursued by Das in an armored car. Finally, they come out near the top of a waterfall which they jump off and land in a lake at the bottom. Booth swims to shore with the egg, only to discover that Hartley and Black are actually romantic and professional partners and Hartley was never an FBI member but a con artist like his father, both going by the alias "Bishop". Booth hands over the egg and they leave him handcuffed to a tree in the jungle.

In Cairo, Hartley and Black deliver the three eggs to an Egyptian billionaire buyer, in time for his daughter's wedding (mirroring Marc Antony's original gift to Cleopatra). The gesture is overshadowed when the bride is more excited for wedding singer Ed Sheeran. The wedding is later interrupted by the Das Interpol raid that arrests the bride and her father. Sheeran is also arrested after getting into a fight with one of the officers. Six months later, on their yacht in Sardinia, Hartley and Black meet Booth again, who informs them that he told Das about his Cayman Islands account containing the Egyptian billionaire's $300 million payment, which Das freezes, leaving them penniless. Booth also reveals that Interpol is on their way to capture them, but offers them a chance to escape if they help him with a new heist, which requires three people to pull off. They agree and escape, and Das places a red circular on the three of them as they begin their heist at the Louvre in Paris.
