Joe Moore (Gene Hackman) is a veteran thief whose face is caught on camera during a jewel robbery. His fence, Bergman (Danny DeVito), refuses to pay him unless he pulls off one last, incredibly complex heist involving Swiss gold. Double-crosses and shifting alliances abound as Moore's crew plans the impossible job.

Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize-winner David Mamet, "Heist" is praised as a smart, twisty, and "exhilarating" thriller with brilliant dialogue and a "cast is brilliant" (Chicago Tribune).

Essential viewing for fans of David Mamet's intricate plotting and sharp language, or anyone who loves a clever heist movie with veteran actors giving great performances.

"Heist" is considered one of David Mamet's most accessible and entertaining films, applying his signature style to the popular heist genre. It was one of Gene Hackman's final leading roles before his retirement from acting.
