“In a city built on secrets, one crew dares to steal everything—and risks losing even more.”
“Heist” (2025) charges into cinemas as a slick, adrenaline-fueled crime thriller that reimagines the classic bank robbery for a modern age. Directed by David Leitch, the film blends pulse-pounding action with double-crosses, high-tech gadgets, and a crew of thieves who quickly learn that no plan survives contact with reality.
At the center of “Heist” is master thief Miles Carter (Oscar Isaac), who assembles a diverse team of specialists for one last score: stealing $500 million in cryptocurrency from a vault hidden beneath a futuristic New York City skyscraper. The plan is meticulous, timed down to the second, and designed to leave no trace. But as the operation unfolds, Miles discovers that someone inside the crew has their own secret agenda—and the heist itself may be part of an elaborate setup.
David Leitch’s direction injects the film with relentless energy. High-octane sequences unfold in shimmering skyscrapers, neon-lit streets, and high-security vaults brimming with lasers and biometric locks. From tense hacking scenes to brutal hand-to-hand fights, “Heist” never lets the audience catch its breath. The film’s style is glossy and modern, full of slick camerawork and pounding electronic music.
Oscar Isaac brings gravitas and charm to Miles, balancing cool-headed leadership with flashes of vulnerability. Supporting standouts include Jodie Comer as a brilliant hacker with secrets of her own and John Boyega as the team’s loyal muscle who might be hiding divided loyalties. Their chemistry keeps the film grounded amid the spectacle.
Beyond its thrills, “Heist” explores deeper themes of trust, loyalty, and the price of ambition. It’s a story about how even the best-laid plans can crumble when greed, fear, and betrayal collide. By its explosive finale, “Heist” proves that sometimes the biggest danger isn’t getting caught—but who you choose to trust.
