Three Timelines Unravel a Criminal Conspiracy in Apple TV’s 12 12 12

Apple TV’s new heist series 12 12 12 puts Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan on opposite sides of a deadly chase. The actors, who previously worked together on The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, also serve as executive producers.

Mackie plays an FBI agent whose reputation has collapsed, while Dornan plays an American professional criminal. Their cat-and-mouse pursuit unfolds across Europe and ultimately converges on an audacious bank-vault robbery in the streets of Zurich, Switzerland.

The title encodes the structure of the heist. One timeline covers 12 months of meticulous planning. Another follows the 12-hour operation itself. The final timeline tracks 12 days of desperate flight after the robbery.

As the three timelines interlock, the series gradually reveals how the robbery was planned and how the two men try to escape after the scheme goes out of control. Collider described the high-IQ heist as “Grand Theft Auto meets Heat,” pointing to its combination of bank robbery, police pursuit and flight from the law.

12 12 12 will premiere worldwide on Apple TV on Nov. 13. The first two episodes will be released that day, followed by weekly episodes every Friday.
