Based on the available information, no, not all Ocean's movies are directly connected.
While there is a series of films featuring heist themes and often the "Ocean's" name, their narrative connections vary.
The Ocean's Films Connection Explained
According to the provided reference, the original Ocean's 11 doesn't really connect to the popular Ocean's trilogy of the 2000s. The original film, released in 1960, is credited with bringing the classic Las Vegas casino heist storyline to the big screen.
The popular trilogy from the 2000s includes:
- Ocean's Eleven (2001)
- Ocean's Twelve (2004)
- Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
These three films feature largely the same core group of characters and follow a continuous storyline across the movies.
There is also Ocean's Eight (2018), a spin-off film that exists within the same universe as the 2000s trilogy, featuring a new team led by the sister of George Clooney's character, Danny Ocean.
Watching Order
Although the original isn't narratively linked to the trilogy, all five films are often considered part of the broader "Ocean's" film series and can be watched in chronological order based on their release date.
- Ocean's 11 (1960)
- Ocean's Eleven (2001)
- Ocean's Twelve (2004)
- Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
- Ocean's Eight (2018)
In summary, while the 2000s trilogy and its spin-off Ocean's Eight are connected, the original Ocean's 11 from 1960 stands apart in terms of narrative connection to the later films.
