Josh O’Connor is The Mastermind in trailer for 70s-set crime drama

August 21, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

MUBI has shared a poster and trailer for writer-director Kelly Reichardt’s 1970s-set crime drama The Mastermind.

Josh O’Connor stars as JB, an unemployed carpenter who steals four paintings from a museum with the help of two cohorts, but his life begins to unravel when he discovers keeping a hold of the paintings is a lot harder than stealing them.

Joining O’Connor in the cast are Alana Haim, Gabby Hoffman, John Magaro, Hope Davis, and Bill Camp. Watch the trailer below…

In a sedate corner of Massachusetts circa 1970, JB Mooney (Josh O’Connor), an unemployed carpenter turned amateur art thief, plans his first big heist. When things go haywire, his life unravels.

The Mastermind is set for release on October 17th.
