Who directed the 2017 heist comedy Logan Lucky?

The story behind the answer

Steven Soderbergh directed the 2017 heist comedy Logan Lucky.

The film follows the Logan siblings as they plan to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway during a NASCAR event. Its setting and characters give the story a distinctly regional, working-class tone, contrasting with the polished casino crews in Soderbergh's Ocean's films. Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Daniel Craig lead the cast.

Logan Lucky marked Soderbergh's return to feature-film directing after a brief retirement announcement following Side Effects. The screenplay was credited to Rebecca Blunt, a pseudonym whose identity became a subject of public speculation. Soderbergh also served as cinematographer under the name Peter Andrews and edited the film as Mary Ann Bernard. The movie's robbery depends on the speedway's pneumatic waste-disposal system, a fictionalized element of the elaborate plan.
