Sleepless is a 2017 American crime drama film directed by Baran bo Odar, written by Andrea Berloff and starring Jamie Foxx and T.I. as a pair of corrupt Las Vegas cops who search for one of their kidnapped sons. Michelle Monaghan, Dermot Mulroney, David Harbour, Gabrielle Union and Scoot McNairy also star.

A remake of the French thriller Sleepless Night, the film was released in the United States on January 13, 2017. It received generally negative reviews from critics and has grossed $24 million.

In Las Vegas, vice LVMPD policemen Vincent Downs and Sean Cass rob a shipment of cocaine belonging to entrepreneur Stanley Rubino, who is associated with mobster Rob Novak, the son of a powerful mob boss. They volunteer to investigate the robbery in order to cover up their involvement, clashing with Internal Affairs investigators Jennifer Bryant and Doug Dennison, who are suspicious of their involvement. Unbeknownst to them, Vincent is undercover on behalf of Internal Affairs to dismantle the crime ring within the police department, which has left him estranged from his ex-wife Dena and their son, Thomas.

While driving Thomas to soccer practice, Vincent is ambushed by Rubino's men, who stab him in the abdomen and kidnap Thomas, demanding the stolen cocaine back in exchange for Thomas's life. Vincent retrieves the cocaine from Cass, places it in a duffel bag and leaves it in the ventilation shaft of one of the bathrooms in Rubino's casino, but is unknowingly followed by Bryant, who hides it in the women's locker room nearby. Upon learning that the drugs were moved, Vincent is forced to present Rubino with a bag of sugar to ensure Thomas's safety, but Novak uncovers his ruse and Thomas is recaptured by Rubino's men, while Vincent manages to escape.
