21 Heist Movies, Ranked
Updated June 30, 2017
From serious crime dramas to campy comedies, heist movies can take on all forms so long as the characters are trying to get a big payday from a planned theft. They often feature betrayals, plot twists and captivating crooks. Can a chase scene with Mini Coopers come off as exciting? In a heist movie, it sure can.
Below are some of cinema's most recent heist movies, ranked by their Metascores from worst to best.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, an insurance agent, and Sean Connery, an aging art thief, attempt a big heist in Malaysia. All the while they deal with some major sexual tension.
The most memorable scene from the film is Jones slinking past lasers in a skin-tight outfit. The actual plot of the caper film? A little less memorable.
