Heist films are a subgenre of crime movies that focus on the planning, execution, and aftermath of a robbery or theft. These films often feature a group of skilled individuals, each with a specific role, working together to achieve a common goal. The tension and excitement come from the challenges they face, including law enforcement and unexpected complications. Common elements in heist films include intricate plots, clever strategies, and twists that keep the audience guessing. Notable examples include Ocean's Eleven, The Italian Job, and Heat. These films often explore themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters involved.
