Logan Lucky is a American heist comedy film directed by Steven Soderbergh , based on a screenplay written by his wife Jules Asner credited as Rebecca Blunt. West Virginian Jimmy Logan is laid off from his construction job in the tunnels underneath the Charlotte Motor Speedway for failing to inform the manager about his leg injuries during his football career in high school. Sadie performs in beauty pageants, and Jimmy's hair stylist sister, Mellie, does her hair.
Bobbie Jo and Moody plan on moving to Lynchburg as Moody plans to open up a new car dealership. Jimmy goes to a bar tended by his ex-soldier brother Clyde, who lost his lower arm while he was a soldier in the Iraq War. The next day, Jimmy tells Clyde his plan to rob the Speedway, exploiting his knowledge of its underground pneumatic tube system for moving its vast amount of money.
Clyde and Jimmy recruit their younger sister Mellie, incarcerated safe-cracker Joe Bang, and Joe's dimwitted younger brothers, Sam and Fish. The team plan to break Joe out of prison and return him later that day. Clyde intentionally gets himself sent to the same prison on a minor charge.
With the unknowing help of a woman working at the vault, Mellie, Sam and Fish infest the Speedway's tube system with painted cockroaches, determining which tubes go to the vault.
While gathering supplies, Jimmy meets his former schoolmate Sylvia, who gives him a tetanus shot inside her mobile clinic, which is in need of donations. Jimmy learns that construction at the speedway is being completed ahead of schedule, forcing them to mount the heist a week earlier, during the much busier Coca-Cola race on Memorial Day weekend. Joe arranges for fellow inmates to stage a riot, resulting in a lockdown that hides his and Clyde's escape. At the speedway, Sam and Fish blow up a cell tower to disable the credit card machines, forcing vendors to accept cash only.
