FINAL PAPER
BUSINESS RISK MANAGEMENT
I. SYNOPSIS
The movie plot is basically about the eleven plans to rig a new casino's opening night after its ruthless owner double crosses one of the gang.

Finally, to ensure guests leave with their payouts, the group plans to simulate an earthquake via one of two giant drills which bored the Channel Tunnel....
