it’s all about getting in getting out
and leaving a whole lot richer I’m not a
truck welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our top 10
favorite movie heists number 10 he told
me something similar The Dark Knight
kicking off our list is the Gotham City
bank heist that establishes the tone for
the rest of Christopher Nolan’s landmark
film what sets this caper apart from
others isn’t that the robbers are
wearing clown masks or stealing from the
mob but that they have been individually
instructed to off each other something
similar no no until only one man is left
standing of course it just happens to be
the Joker who hired them number 9
presidential veto Point Break we had to
elect this one Patrick Swayze is the
leader of a group of bank robbers called
the ex-presidents hmm we wonder how they
got that name unlike the other heists on
this list this robbery is memorable for
its simplicity but issues arise when the
leader decides to tempt fate and go for
the vault rather than the cash in the
counters breaking his own rules in the
process
number eight art appreciation the Thomas
Crown Affair this is what happens when a
really rich guy gets bored to get his
kicks pierce brosnan finances an art
gallery robbery but that doomed heist is
just a distraction so he can do the real
work himself sirens wail as his
unsuspecting cohorts get caught
meanwhile he makes a daring escape
worthy of even the most talented cat
burglar and manages to grab the real
painting himself number seven the
codebreaker sneakers in this flick
Robert Redford’s team of security
analysts steals a code-breaking device
for government and person aiders and is
forced to reseal it from a bond like
villain the ensuing plot involves a fake
date hacking surveillance cameras
raising the temperature to avoid heat
sensors and moving really slowly while
trying to hurry through motion sensors
oh and the blind guy drives the getaway
car oh I think I’ll stop right here
number 6 gold reserve die hard with a
vengeance
first reason this is awesome the bad
guys theme is the ants go marching one
by one
square second they lure every New York
cop away from the scene of the crime
by planting a fake bomb in an
unspecified school third John McClane
has kept busy the entire time with
mind-bending riddles how often do we see
the bad guys literally get away with
dumb trucks full of gold bars Fort Knox
ha it’s for tourists number five
safecracking the Italian Job this one is
all about the creativity here a team
blows up the road in order to bring an
armored truck down to them of course
they cover their tracks
and buy tracks we mean the giant gaping
hole waiting underground is a gorgeous
safecracker and three Mini Coopers once
they load up the cache it’s time to get
the heck out of there
number four the Bellagio Ocean’s eleven
George Clooney recruits a team of eleven
men to help him knock off 150 million
dollars from a casino vault as a way of
sticking it to his ex’s new boy-toy
while the heist itself is notably insane
what makes it so fun to watch is the
fact that the various steps in the plan
are only revealed as they happen
leaving the audience guessing up until
the very end you have a hand in this did
I have my hand in one number three
armored car job heat in this
unforgettable heist Robert De Niro and
his crew Ram an armored vehicle onto its
side with a tow truck
they then blow open the doors while
wearing goalie masks removed the
incapacitated guards and leave road
spikes on the street for the police it
would have all gone down smoothly had
one of their gang not taken a guards
inability to hear him so personally
brutal number two
CIA headquarters mission impossible
simply put this scene justifies the
movie’s title Tom Cruise and his team
infiltrate CIA headquarters to steal the
list of agent identities from their
vaults to help clear his name
not only does Cruz work upside-down he
must also avoid triggering the heat
noise and pressure sensors surrounding
him the last of which can go off with a
simple drop of sweat number one reversed
mind heist inception taking the top spot
on our list is a crime that’s very cool
and very complicated a team of thieves
enters the mind of their targets so they
can put an idea in his head this forces
them to adopt false personas spread out
over different levels of his
subconscious synchronized while
operating at different chronological
rates and take on his minds
unpredictable defense mechanisms
