==Plot== Madeline Rose "Maddy" Phillips is a 12-year-old girl who loves to climb, often ascending the nearby water tower. Her father Tom shares her passion but fell more than 100 feet during a climb years earlier. Tom and his wife Molly are afraid Maddy may suffer a similar accident and have forbidden her from climbing. Latent injuries from Tom's fall have recently paralyzed him from the neck down. The family hears of an experimental operation which can save him, but insurance will not pay for the operation and the family does not have $250,000 for the treatment. Harderbach Financial's president Donald Brisbane refuses to loan the amount, despite Molly being employed by the bank to design a security system. Maddy comes up with a plan to rob the bank for the money with her knowledge of her mother's system. Maddy steals three [[go-kart]]s from her father's racecourse and recruits her two friends Gus a young mechanic, and Austin a computer geek and aspiring filmmaker, to help her. To convince them, she separately tells each one she loves him and gives him one-half of her friendship necklace. They break into Harderbach Financial on the night of a party Brisbane is throwing, bringing along Max, Maddy's infant brother, whom she is supposed to be babysitting. Maddy distracts the security guards Ferrell and Gus' older brother Chad. Maddy and Gus progress to a room with thousands of security deposit boxes while Austin watches Max and manipulates the cameras and alarms to keep the guards away from them. After a sudden equipment failure with her climbing gear, Maddy is forced to free-climb the rest of the way up to the main vault containing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Upon reaching the vault door, she accidentally triggers a timer, then with seconds left, cracks the code ("Madeline"), grabs $250,000 from the vault, and flees the room, unintentionally setting off the alarm after forgetting to type the exit code. The trio manages to escape the bank's [[Rottweiler]]s and re-escapes Chad who tasers Ferrell, but then lets them go before accidentally tasering himself. Molly arrives at the bank and Brisbane accuses her system of being useless and fires a Phillips family friend and bank employee Hartmann. Brisbane's guest Francois Nuffaut apologizes to Molly and redirects the blame onto Brisbane for throwing a party at the bank before the security system was operable. Gus and Austin find out that Maddy played them after seeing each other's necklaces and leave her, but the trio reunites during a police chase and evades them successfully. Maddy and her friends go to the hospital with the money to pay for the surgery, but Molly realizes who the thieves are (through the amount they stole being equal to that of surgery costs and the climbing gear Maddy left in the vault) and intercepts them. Molly realizes her daughter was only doing what she thought was right for her father and does a cover-up by telling the bank executives that the robbery was an unplanned test she performed as chief of security. As they leave, reporters outside the hospital give the public the full story. Molly forgives Maddy for her actions. The public and the news studio sympathize with the Phillips family and donate money for Tom's surgery. Brisbane is fired; Hartmann is promoted to bank president and gives them the loan. Three months later, Tom has recovered from the surgery. Maddy, Gus, and Austin continue to argue playfully about who will be a better boyfriend for Maddy.
