Heat — The Greatest Crime Film Ever Made

Michael Mann spent 17 years trying to make this film. Heat is the story of two men on opposite sides of the law who are more alike than either would ever admit. Neil McCauley runs the most disciplined crew in Los Angeles. Vincent Hanna will burn his entire personal life down to catch him. One of them has to lose. Most people remember Heat for the coffee shop scene and the downtown shootout. Both are extraordinary. But this episode goes deeper than that.
