“Tower Heist” is the latest film by Brett Ratner, starring Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller. In the film, Stiller, Murphy and a gang of tower staffers try to steal money from a Wall Street fatcat who didn’t pay the money the staff was owed. On Facebook, you can also steal money–well, Facebook credits–in the game “Heist it Back.”

In the game you take some of the one million Facebook Credits that are up for the grabbing. You start by claiming your first two credits through the “Heist it Back” app, which can be found here. You find more of the million credits by searching through Facebook for “Heist” buttons hidden on pages and within ads.

Players are rewarded with the credits after clicking the “Heist” button, and the credits received will be automatically put into the user’s account. These credits can then be used to by virtual goods from Facebook games and apps. Players are also rewarded when they get their friends in on the game or share a story of how they got their own version of payback.

Here’s the synopsis of “Tower Heist”:

“Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy lead an all-star cast in Tower Heist, a comedy caper about working stiffs who seek revenge on the Wall Street swindler who stiffed them. After the workers at a luxury Central Park condominium discover the penthouse billionaire has stolen their retirement, they plot the ultimate revenge: a heist to reclaim what he took from them.

Queens native Josh Kovaks (Stiller) has managed one of the most luxurious and well-secured residences in New York City for more than a decade. Under his watchful eye, nothing goes undetected. In the swankiest unit atop Josh’s building, Wall Street titan Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) is under house arrest after being caught stealing two billion from his investors. The hardest hit among those he defrauded? The tower staffers whose pensions he was entrusted to manage.

With only days before Arthur gets away with the perfect crime, Josh’s crew turns to petty crook Slide (Murphy) to plan the nearly impossible…to steal what they are sure is hidden in Arthur’s guarded condo. Though amateurs, these rookie thieves know the building better than anyone. Turns out they’ve been casing the place for years, they just didn’t know it.”

The film also stars Gabourey Sidibe, Casey Affleck, Mattheew Broderick, Judd Hirsch, Téa Leoni and Michael Peña, and will be in theaters November 4. You can learn more about the film at its official site,YouTube channel and Twitter page.
