Heat
1995 | Crime | USA | Directed by Michael Mann
Overview
A master thief and an obsessive detective circle each other across Los Angeles, and the first shared coffee between De Niro and Pacino pays off a generation of waiting. The downtown shootout, with echoing assault rifles, rewrote on screen gunfights with real tactics. Mann turns crime into architecture: glass, steel, and men who cannot quit. The definitive L.A. crime epic.
