Heat is a 1995 American crime film written and directed by Michael Mann. It features an ensemble cast led by Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, with Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, and Val Kilmer in supporting roles.

The film follows the conflict between an LAPD detective, played by Pacino, and a career thief, played by De Niro, while also depicting its effect on their professional relationships and personal lives.

What makes Heat truly memorable? It’s not just the action sequences—although the bank robbery scene is a masterclass in tension and choreography—but the nuanced performances. The film digs deep into the psyches of its two main characters, highlighting the thin line between the good guys and the bad guys.

Beyond the performances, Michael Mann’s direction and the film’s stylized, moody aesthetic provide a gritty yet polished look at Los Angeles. The city becomes a character itself, adding to the atmosphere of the film.
