Friday March 28th, Columbia Pictures will release 21. The movie is inspired and based on the true story of Jeff Ma and his MIT blackjack team that took Las Vegas by storm with their use of math and team work. Their system was so successful that it took nearly two years before the casinos began to catch on. Their small blackjack club developed from an experiment in counting cards and then into a ring of card savants with a system for playing large and winning big.

As always the Hollywood version of this story is glamed up with flashy looking people and unrealistic dialogue. Check out the real MIT blackjack team here and check the video for the movie trailer.
