Heat (1995)

Heat is a 1995 American crime drama film written and directed by Michael Mann. Heat's premise is fairly basic, but that's part of what makes it so good. The film depicts the conflict between an LAPD detective (Al Pacino) and a career thief (Robert De Niro), as well as the effect it has on their professional and personal lives. The film succeeds because both De Niro and Pacino are fully invested in the project, as well as the plot's mechanics.

Heat was released on December 15, 1995, by Warner Bros. Pictures to critical and commercial success. It earned $187 million on a $60 million budget, with Mann's directing and script, action sequences, sound mixing, and Pacino and De Niro's performances getting critical acclaim. Heat is recognized as one of the most influential films of its genre and has influenced several subsequent works
