Jönssonligan – Den perfekta stöten (English: Johnson Gang – The Master Plan) is a 2015 Swedish film, directed by Alain Darborg. The film is a reboot of the Swedish film series Jönssonligan, and stars Simon J. Berger, Alexander Karim, Torkel Petersson, Susanne Thorson, Andrea Edwards, and Jens Hultén. The films creators have tried to make a thriller, unlike the previous films which have been comedies.

Jönssonligan – Den perfekta stöten was released on January 16, 2015.

Charles Ingvar Jönsson (Simon J. Berger), are together with his uncle Ralf, 's most skilled car thieves. But one day a robbery goes wrong and Ralf is murdered, while Charles is framed for the murder. To take revenge on Ralf's killer, the corrupt business woman Wallentin (Andrea Edwards), the banking director of Wallentin Exchange, Charles makes a plan to implement the most complicated coup in the history of Sweden.

He recruits the fraudster Ragnar Vanheden (Alexander Karim), explosives expert Harry (Torkel Petersson), and lock specialist Rocky (Susanne Thorson), who is also Charles's ex-girlfriend, to help him in his revenge mission.

Over the years there had been plans to continue the film series, but these never became a reality. In 2011, Ulf Brunnberg, who played Vanheden in the eight original films, stated that he and Björn Gustafson would like to do some more films, if Gösta Ekman was coming back as Charles Ingvar Jönsson. He said that he had tried to persuade Ekman without success. Since Ekman at that time already decided not to work anymore, Brunnberg did not think that there would be no more films. There were also plans to make more films about Lilla Jönssonligan. There has also been an idea to make a film in which the members are a little older (perhaps around 16–20 years of age) about how it all began, a little in the style of the film Kenny Begins (2009).
