Plot

The Usual Suspects (1995) is a neo-noir crime thriller that unfolds through the interrogation of Roger “Verbal” Kint, a small-time con artist. The plot centers around a heist gone wrong, orchestrated by a mysterious and feared criminal mastermind named Keyser Söze. Kint narrates the story of how he and four other criminals—Dean Keaton, Michael McManus, Fred Fenster, and Todd Hockney—are brought together by a police lineup and subsequently hired for a job that escalates into a deadly confrontation on a ship. As the story progresses, the group discovers that they are mere pawns in Söze’s grand scheme. The film builds up to a shocking twist: Verbal, who is initially perceived as a helpless cripple, is revealed to be Söze himself. He fabricates an elaborate story using details from the surroundings, leaving the police in disbelief and making his escape. The movie concludes with Verbal walking away free, his true identity shrouded in mystery.
