Plot
Neil McCauley is a master professional thief who plans every job with absolute discipline and lives by one uncompromising rule: never become attached to anything you cannot walk away from in seconds if you feel danger closing in. Together with his highly skilled crew, he executes major robberies across Los Angeles with near-surgical precision. On the other side of the law is Lieutenant Vincent Hanna, an equally obsessive detective whose relentless dedication to his work has taken a devastating toll on his personal life.
As Hanna closes in on McCauley's crew and McCauley prepares for one final major score, hunter and hunted begin to recognize something unsettlingly familiar in each other. They stand on opposite sides of the law, yet share the same discipline, obsession and inability to live an ordinary life. Michael Mann's Heat transforms their pursuit into an epic crime drama about obsession, loneliness, professionalism and two men whose greatest adversary may also be the only person capable of truly understanding them.
