Set It Off

Feb 28—Mar 2, 2026
    Part of
  • Ashley Clark presents: Selections from The World of Black Film
  • and
  • BAM Film 2026
Directed by F. Gary Gray (1996)
With Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox
Four struggling women stick it to society by pulling a string of bank robberies in this female-powered heist thriller. The action sequences pack an impressive visceral jolt, but director Gray (Friday) adds a gritty layer of social realism by delving into the circumstances that drive each woman to a life of crime. “Queen Latifah gives a career-making performance” (Variety) as a brash carjacker.
