Directed by Michael Mann • 1995 • United States
Starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino face off in this titanic crime epic from pulp poet Michael Mann. A gang of thieves led by snazzy super-criminal Neal McCauley (De Niro) pull off a string of robberies on banks, vaults, and armored cars. When a heist gone wrong leaves a guard dead, LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Pacino) vows to bring the thieves down. In the midst of the cat-and-mouse game between criminal and cop, Neil breaks his own rule and falls in love, losing the edge that has always allowed him to cut bait and run. With his typically stylish eye for action and dazzling use of LA locations, Mann transforms this rivetingly plotted thriller into an existential opera of macho angst.
