Heist is a 2001 American heist film written and directed by David Mamet and starring Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito, and Delroy Lindo, with Rebecca Pidgeon, Ricky Jay, and Sam Rockwell in supporting roles. The film became the highest-grossing David Mamet-directed film in the United States,[1][2] and then went on to become a popular hit in the home video market.[3]
Plot[edit]
Joe Moore (Gene Hackman) runs a ring of professional thieves, which includes Bobby Blane (Delroy Lindo), Don 'Pinky' Pincus (Ricky Jay) and Joe's wife Fran (Rebecca Pidgeon). During a robbery of a New York City jewelry store, Joe's face is captured by a security camera after he takes off his mask in an attempt to distract the store's last remaining employee. As both the picture and a witness can identify him, Joe retires from crime and plans to disappear on his sail boat with his wife.
This does not sit well with Joe's fence, Mickey Bergman (Danny DeVito), who runs a garment business as a front. After accruing a number of expenses in setting up another robbery, Bergman decides to withhold the payment due to Joe and his crew. He insists they go through with the other job — robbing an airplane carrying a large shipment of gold. Bergman further insists that his nephew, Jimmy Silk (Sam Rockwell), be a part of the crew. Joe accepts, but a series of shifting loyalties changes the complexity of their task, including Jimmy's interest in Joe's wife and Bergman and Jimmy's belief that Joe's skills are declining.
They attempt to rob the plane twice. In their first attempt, while setting up explosive devices along the border of the airport, they are stopped by a passing officer. While Joe and Bobby talk the officer into leaving, an agitated Jimmy draws his gun but is stopped by Pinky. He forces his team out of finishing the job after he finds out that Pinky didn't destroy the getaway car, covered in the team's fingerprints. Bergman doesn't accept the team's departure and forces them to finish the job.
The plane robbery is a series of misdirects. Pinky poses as a guard while Joe, Bobby, and Jimmy pose as airport security personnel. They stop the jet, pretending to be responding to an emergency. They fill a van with what they take from the plane, then move the van to a rented garage on the airport grounds, where they re-brand it and call for a tow truck to have it hauled away.
The Heist Minecraft
Jimmy betrays the others to steal the gold and Fran. He knocks out Joe and tells Fran he knew Joe changed the plan, including Fran seducing him. He and Fran take the van, but Jimmy finds out that the hidden compartments are filled with metal washers. Joe avoids arrest and returns to the plane in disguise. He and Bobby remove a shipment of goods they had booked on board the same Swiss flight, which they insist now must be driven to its destination due to the plane's delay. Inside the shipment is the stolen gold, which Joe and Bobby melt into long rods.
Bergman apprehends Pinky, who is walking his niece to the school bus. Pinky discloses the plan in order to save his niece, though he is killed after. Bergman and his crew arrive at Joe's sail boat along with Jimmy and Fran, where they hold Joe at gunpoint. They assume that the boat's golden railings are the gold. Fran leaves with Jimmy, pleading with Bergman to let Joe go. Just as Bergman discovers that the railings are not the gold, a hidden Bobby opens fire. Bergman's men are killed and Joe kills Bergman.
Bobby gives Joe the address to send his share. Joe waits to meet Fran with a truck filled with black-painted rods. Fran has taken up with Jimmy for real and they take the truck from Joe at gunpoint. Joe gets into a second truck to leave. A black bar in the truck scrapes the garage door, revealing gold underneath. Joe lifts a tarp in the truck bed, revealing the gold rods. He covers the rods with the tarpaulin and drives away.

Production[edit]
Franchise Pictures agreed to finance the film as long as it starred Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito. David Mamet enjoyed big creative freedom throughout production, because Franchise Pictures didn't creatively interfere with him, only requiring him to finish the film within a certain budget.[4]
The film, set mostly in and around Boston, was shot in Montreal. The opening scene, showcasing a New York City jewelry store robbery, was filmed in an Old Montreal building in the process of being renovated into a hotel.[5] The airport scenes, set at Boston's Logan Airport,[6] were filmed at Montréal–Mirabel International Airport.[5]
The film was able to make profit via international pre-sales before it was finished.[4]
Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
According to Rotten Tomatoes, critical reaction for Heist was mixed, with an overall 65% approval rating.[7] The website's critical consensus summary was that 'Heist didn't cover any new ground, but the cast and Mamet's expertise with witty banter make it worthwhile.'[7] On Metacritic, the film received a weighted average score of 66/100 based on 33 reviews, indicating 'generally favorable reviews.'[8]
Roger Ebert for the Chicago Sun-Times, said 'Heist is the kind of caper movie that was made before special effects replaced wit, construction and intelligence. This movie is made out of fresh ingredients, not cake mix. Despite the twists of its plot, it is about its characters.' He went on to praise Mamet's trademark verbal constructions, his restrained approach to on-screen gunplay, and the care that he takes in shaping the relationships between the principals.[9]
Box office[edit]
In its opening weekend, the film opened at number 5, it grossed $7,823,521 in 1,891 theaters in the United States. The film became the highest-grossing David Mamet-directed film in the United States.[1][2]

Heist (also called Bus 657), is a 2015 American heistaction thriller film directed by Scott Mann and written by Stephen Cyrus Sepher and Max Adams, based on the original story by Sepher. The film stars Robert De Niro, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kate Bosworth, Morris Chestnut, Dave Bautista, Sepher and Gina Carano. The plot of the film revolves around a casino heist by an employee who needs to pay for his sick daughter's treatment.
The film was released on November 13, 2015, by Lionsgate Premiere.[3]
Plot[edit]
Luke Vaughn, a man working in a Southern casino run by 'The Pope', has a sick daughter in a hospital, with medical bills he fails to pay, and further needs some $300,000, for her surgery. Yet, Pope refuses his plea for a loan, and when Vaughn insists, Pope fires him, which leads to his being beaten by the boss's right-hand man 'Dog'.
Vaughn is approached by security guard Cox and agrees to rob the money, which the casino is laundering for the mob. After a $3 million heist, the masked thieves are intercepted by Dog's henchmen. A gun battle ensues, wounding one of the thieves, and once their getaway driver escapes in terror, the rest are forced to hijack a city bus number 657. Police Officer Kris Bauhaus, whose car is parked a half block from the bus stop, hears the gunshots coming from the bus and pursues them and alerts reinforcements to join the chase and post a road block.
Pope orders Dog to retrieve the money. Meanwhile, Cox nearly shoots Kris, and Vaughn writes a passenger's phone number on a bus window, to enable contact with the gang, and warn Kris that Cox will kill passengers if the police are not instructed to clear the roadblocks. Kris obeys and Vaughn orders Bernie the bus driver to ram the roadblock, allowing the bus to enter the interstate highway. The next morning, the wounded thief is dying. Vaughn asks one of the passengers, a veterinarian student, to take care of him. Cox orders Bernie to head to Galveston, Texas; unfortunately, the bus is running low on fuel, so Vaughn calls for a fuel tanker.
Detective Marconi joins forces with Kris when she is about to be relieved from duty. Marconi monitors the bus via a police helicopter. Cox makes a call to Jono, an old man who aided them in planning the robbery, informing Jono that they have the money and are on the way. While refueling, Vaughn allows two hostages (Pauline and a young boy) to be released. Kris discovers that Vaughn pulled the robbery because of his ill daughter. Meanwhile, Dog learns the location of Jono through a police radio scanner.
With the wounded thief suffering blood loss, Vaughn calls Marconi to board the bus with a medical emergency kit. He boards and takes a call from Pope, tossing the phone to Vaughn, revealing Marconi's affiliation with Pope. Shortly thereafter, a SWAT team attacks the bus and pops the bus tire, causing it to crash to a stop near a bridge. Most of the passengers receive minor injuries.
With police surrounding the bus, Cox holds Bernie hostage in front of the cops and on live TV. Bernie is presumably shot dead by Cox, but it is revealed that Vaughn shot his partner Cox instead, saving Bernie. Vaughn receives a call from his daughter saying that the money has arrived to pay the hospital bills. Vaughn releases all the hostages and the bus departs once the tires are repaired. The police authorities follow the bus but find out Vaughn has escaped and only Bernie is inside.
Vaughn arrives at Jono's, but finds Dog has killed him. Dog takes Vaughn prisoner by knocking him out with a shot of rock salt from a shotgun and they are joined by Pope and Marconi back on the bus, though Pope soon kills Marconi. Vaughn shows them where the remaining $2.7 million is hidden on the bus, then explains that Pauline was not a pregnant passenger but is actually his sister, who hid the missing $300,000 in her 'tummy'. Kris had deduced what Pauline was doing and did not stop her from paying the medical bill. Dog is infuriated and is about to burn Vaughn alive, threatening to go after Vaughn's daughter next, when Pope shoots Dog dead. A grateful Vaughn is allowed to get away. Pope waits on the bus and lights a cigarette as the police arrive.
