21 Blackjack Movie

21 is a movie that was released in 2008. The blackjack movie was based on the New York Times Bestseller novel, Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions, which was written by Ben Mezrich.  It tells the story of a group of students from MIT who come together to form a ‘blackjack team’ which is led by Professor Micky Rosa. The lead character, Ben Campbell, is attempting to make his way to Harvard medical school. In order to pay for his fees, he joins the ‘blackjack team’. In the 21 movie, we see the professor training his team of blackjack students in card counting and flying them out to Vegas for weekends of gambling.

This movie shows viewers a different side to the world of gambling. The house edge is defeated multiple times and the students walk away with millions. The thrill of gambling, in the movie, is also an aspect that, somewhat, overpowers the winning. The original MIT blackjack team was established in 1994.
