What happens

Heist is a 2001 American heist crime drama film written and directed by David Mamet and starring Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito and Delroy Lindo in their second collaboration following Get Shorty (1995), with Rebecca Pidgeon, Ricky Jay, Patti Lupone and Sam Rockwell in supporting roles. Heist premiered at the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2001 before being released by Morgan Creek Productions, Inc. (through Warner Bros. Pictures) on November 9, 2001 in the United States. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its characters and script.
