Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Band of Robbers is a 2015 modernization of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain directed by siblings Adam & Aaron Nee (the former previously an ensemble cast member on Drunk History). The story draws heavily from Twain's classic novels, including characters, plot twists, and even dialogue.Recently released ex-convict Huckleberry Finn (played by Kyle Gallner) is trying to "go straight", but his childhood friend, underachieving cop Tom Sawyer (played by Adam Nee), has other plans. The two form the "Band of Robbers" with their bumbling friends, Joe Harper (played by Matthew Gray Gubler) and Ben Rogers (played by Hannibal Buress), and plan to rob a pawnshop where local legend Injun Joe (played by Stephen Lang) — a vicious white criminal and treasure hunter who imitates Native American culture — has stored a mysterious package that Tom's friend and contact Muff Potter (played by Cooper Huckabee) believes is the legendary Murrell's Treasure, for which Tom and Huck have been searching since childhood; Tom uses the logic that robbing "bad guys" makes the Band "good guys". Things get complicated when Tom's commanding officer, Lieutenant Polly (played by Lee Garlington) — who Tom, living under the shadow of his more successful detective half brother, Sid (played by Eric Christian Olsen), has frequently begged for more responsibility on duty — assigns him to train Becky Thatcher (played by Melissa Benoist), his eager-to-please rookie partner, and the hung-over Band's heist goes awry. Tom is undaunted, however, and leads the Band on a wild treasure hunt from one mysterious clue to another. When Huck's friend, Mexican day laborer Jorge Jiminez (played by Daniel Edward Mora), who unknowingly served as the Band's driver during the heist, is mistaken as being a conspirator in their activities and arrested, Huck and Tom, on the run from a vengeful and murderous Injun Joe and the police, lead the band on a mission to rescue Jorge and be the heroes they always wanted to become.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Band of Robbers / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Muff, an amiable ally towards Tom and Huck in Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, caves in to Injun Joe's threats and aids him in his search for Tom, Huck, and Murrell's treasure in the climax. He also seems to suffer from Death by Adaptation when he and Injun's henchman Packard drive Tom's squad car into the river, though this is not entirely confirmed as the event was offscreen. | |

Adaptation Inspiration | |
| Band of Robbers / int_ff74ef12 | comment |
Adaptation Inspiration: Despite being based on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the film tonally and stylistically, as well as in its premise of wannabe heist-pullers, resembles Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket as well as the early films of The Coen Brothers. | |
