A highly focused loner, McCauley's protection is that there's nothing in his life that he can't walk away from in 30 seconds flat. Vincent Hanna is a lieutenant of detectives in LAPD's Robbery/Homicide Division who searches through the remains of a crime for the scent of his prey and then hunts them down. Those are the elevated experiences of his life--the rest is disorder. When McCauley and his team rob an armored van of bearer bonds, Hanna takes over the case. McCauley and his crew are nearly impossible to identify, let alone track down. But Hanna's network of informants and the details of each man's life--failures and dreams, betrayals and vendettas--generate clues Hanna is able to discover. Soon, Hanna and his detectives and McCauley and his crime partners are driven towards a collision from which only some will survive.

Dengan memasang inti cerita di tangan Al Pacino dan Robert de Niro, film ini berhasil menyuguhkan action dan drama yang dinamis secara bersamaan. Setelah menonton film ini, mungkin penonton akan rindu menyaksikan lagi Pacino dan De Niro beradu akting dalam satu film, setelah Righteous Kill!!

It is the cinematography of this film that is sublime and calls for repeated viewings. It, rather than the competent acting and script, capture the zeitgeist of our era.
Michael Mann is THE MAN!
In my opinion his best film to date.

This is my 4th copy of the film: VHS, 2 DVD's and Blu-Ray. Clearly this is one of my top films of all time. Mr. Mann knows how to tell quite the crime drama and can he ever fill his films with tension and amazing shootouts!
Great soundtrack, amazing cast, beautifully shot (no one shoots LA like Michael Mann!)...A must see for any fan of crime dramas and film.
Heat is the ultimate crime drama with a great plot and legendary performances from De Niro and Pacino. It's crazy that Heat won no oscars.
arguably the best crime drama of the 90s. belongs in any top 10 list of the aforementioned decade. a modern western, a 3 hr epic that goes beyond the action film genre, a classic last act that is one of the most powerful put on film. pacino and de ni...

This has one of the most skillfully choreographed shootouts ever put on film!!
Didn't watch it with full attention but nonetheless found it to be a good crime drama. The bank robbery action scene is probably one of the best of its kind. No lack of character development, even for the villains. Performances were top notch aswell.
