1995 · Directed by Michael Mann · 170 min
In Los Angeles, a disciplined professional thief and his crew plan increasingly bold jobs, while a driven police detective builds a case against them. Michael Mann's crime epic treats both sides as skilled specialists, and it takes its time with their lives away from the work.
Why it matters in cinema history
A landmark of 1990s American crime cinema and a bridge between the 1970s urban thriller and the grounded, tactical action film of the 2000s.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a story of two mirrored professionals, where how each man works and lives matters as much as the plot.
