Brian Tyree Henry stars as a stick-up artist in over his head in the Apple miniseries 'Dope Thief', executive produced by Ridley Scott.

If you were to judge "Dope Thief" based on its logline about two men posing as DEA agents, you would expect a very specific type of high-octane show. Peter Craig's new Apple TV+ original does offer excellent action scenes and delivers them in spades.

Ridley Scott directs the premiere episode and produces Apple's Philly-set crime thriller, which follows a pair of low-level grifters whose latest robbery proves too big to filch.
