What is it called when movies do this?

Is there a technical term for this?:

Character has a brilliant plan on how to get out of a sticky situation and proceeds to explain his plan in great detail to someone else and thus the movie goer.

Now that the plan is outlined, the moviegoer knows the plan will not succeed simply because it was outlined.

On the other hand, if a character says, “I have a plan” but doesn’t explain it to anyone, then there is a 100% chance the plan will work.
