Do you you love criminal series or movies? If yes then here is the movie you can watch in weekend. Heat is An American crime drama film written and directed by Micheal Mann. Mann inspired his script from Neil McCauley’s real-life character, a criminal who was chased by officer Chuck Adamson.
Plot of Heat
Neil McCauley is our el professor of the tale. His crew consisted of Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer), his right-hand man, a couple of enforcers Michael Chitto (Tom Sizemore) and Trejo (Danny Trejo), and the new guy Waingro (Kevin Gage). During a heist, Waingro kills a couple of guards. Furious with this latest escalation, McCauley vow to kills Waingro. However, Hanna, a dedicated and diligent lawman and his team figure out the robber's scheme. They planned to sell the asset back to its original owner in exchange for profits.
With a target on cheritto's back, the gang did proceed to sell the bonds back to Roger Van Zant, the original owner. They find that to their surprise, LAPD had traced their footsteps and were forced to walk away.
Enraged by Waingro's double-cross and having lost Trejo to the mere suspicion that he was being tapped, McCauley plans one last heist with 12.2 billion dollars at stake. His plan: to retire after this heist and flee to New Zealand.
Then events take a rather interesting turn. In the very best scenes, we see a high-speed chase where the skills of McCauley can't be denied as he always manages to escape but not this time as Hanna pulls his car over. The scene, which was supposed to be the victory of the police department, took a drastic turn as Hanna ask him for a coffee.
The intention of the two leaves a mark on the viewer with the dialogue that proceeds, ‘ I don't know how to do anything else' the cop and the thief both are in an endless chase cut off from mainstream society and will be steadfast on their path which they once chose.
Having lost all his comrades, McCauley still manages to conduct the heist only to find that Van Zant tried to poke his nose in their business. Van zant's bodyguard directed the Lis Angeles Police Department to reach the bank. There was a massive shootout, and people were killed, including an LAPD officer. Shiherlis was badly wounded.
After dropping him to safety, McCauley plans his revenge on Robert Van Zant. He enters his house and shoots him alive. It seemed all perfect for the master thief as he was all ready to escape and flee to New Zealand with his girlfriend and leave his past life behind. Away from Los Angeles, the police will have no jurisdiction, and he will be a free man.
But revenge is a crooked beast. On knowing Waingro's whereabouts, McCauley abandoned all motives of safety and went behind his traitor. He wanted to serve him justice. He killed Waingro only to set LAPD on his back. A thrilling chase led McCauley and Hanna to the airport, where Hanna finally shot him dead.
The Earnest efforts of the Los Angeles police team lead by officer Hanna (Al Pacino) finally led to the encounter of McCauley. The theft McCauley does with his partner Shiherlis(Val Kilmer) is no longer to sustain or lavish life; it's now more about the thrill and action. The movie starts and ends with a heist.
