the van and the

Every great safe cracking/ heist movie on this list will have you on the edge of your seat, feeling
pure stress and bliss at the same time.

King of Thieves

Based on the real-life burgling of the Hatton Garden safe deposit boxes in 2015.

This film is excellently cast with Michael Caine acting as the lovable ring leader of the group.

They plan out the heist, which is to occur during the Easter weekend.

They put tp use their old kill techniques and enter the building as gas repairmen.

They out to use their skills, and in one of the funniest yet endearing moments when breaking
into the vault, they manage to do the job and get out.

As is with most heist movies, you might feel the ending is not well thought out; however, taht is
what makes this film work.

On her majesty's secret service

The bond movies are well-conceived, and thought out that not having one of them on this list
would be a crime in itself.

Agent 007 finds himself in Switzerland, trying to fight for and save the human race against
Blofeld. This villain plans on using the beautiful women of the world to spread bacteriological
warfare agents disguised as phobia treatment.

Bond takes on the part of a safecracker when he breaks into a swiss lawyer's office, sir Hilary
Bray, a college of arms genealogist, in order to recover documents that would place him in
Blofeld's company.
As he patiently waits for the electromechanical device to crack the code, you can't help but feel
a sense of calm where others would panic.

Inside man

Hailing from spike lee, inside man reinvents heist movies in a humorous but intriguing way.

Denzel Washington plays lieutenant Keith who takes on dalton russel{clive owen} the smart
intriguing mastermind behind the robbery at manhattan bank.

From the humorous dialogue between the characters to when dalton takes a drill to the safes,
you will not be disappointed.

Cradle 2 the grave

Jet li and DMX star alongside each other.

When they both find themselves fighting the bad guy, they go after him each for his reasons,
and even though there wasn't any meticulous planning and the safe scene borders on
ridiculous, it was still fun to see DMX hook a bazooka to a safe and blow it up.

The Italian job

A remake of the 1969 film of the same name, the Italian job follows Donald Sutherland as john
bridger, charlie{mark wahlberg}the mastermind,lyle{seth green}the computer whizz, rob{jason
statham}and Stella, johns daughter who also happens to be a safecracker.

When the group is betrayed by steve, the inside man, they all vow to take revenge on him and
steal back what is rightfully theirs.

As Stella tries to open the vault using a power drill and instead breaks the lock, she is forced to
open it manually, and it takes her a bit of time, but you can feel the tension as she races against
time.
Oceans eleven

Fresh out of prison, Danny oceans, played by George Clooney, plans the perfect heist.

Rob the vaults of the three biggest casinos in las vegas, belonging to terry benedict, the man
whos dating his ex-wife Tess {julia roberts}. However, the 150 million dollars in the vaults also
act as motivation.

Danny enlists the help of his former friend rusty Ryan {brad pitt}and a couple of other criminals,
including talented pickpocket Linus Cadwell, a pair of talented mechanics, and a surveillance
expert.

The heist, which uses misdirection to its advantage and some high-profile tools, makes oceans
eleven a safe-cracking gem.

Army of thieves

A chance at a life less ordinary.

If I did not know any better, that sounds like the opening credits to a romantic comedy;
however, Army of thieves is anything but.

Following the zombie apocalypse in America, a group of rug tastic criminals sees it fit to rob
legendary impossible to crack safes across Europe.

In the most anticipated bank heist, I have seen in a while, Deiter delivers an outstanding
performance as the bank teller turned safecracker with the magical touch who easily opens any
safe he deems fit.

As he calls himself the best safecracker on the planet, but of course, humility isn't what he's
known for.

Ant-man

The one good thing with ant-man was the heist sequence.

When Scott lang meets up with former cellmate Luis for an easy job targeting Dr. Pym's
residence for "cool shit," he expects the job to go smoothly without any hiccups.
Needless to say, a lot of issues arise, and seeing Scott use a blanket to cover the haywire bolts
and a mattress to cover the Carbondale vault door from alerting the neighbors was one of his
genius moves.

The thieves

The thieves, a South Korean crime drama, follow a Korean and Chinese gang of professional
thieves who meet up in Hong Kong to swindle the mistress of a Chinese gangster out of her
diamond valued at 20 million dollars.

With a large group of 10, issues are bound to arise, and feelings of betrayal, greed and
backstabbing seem to take over the group.

The cat burglar played by Kim Hye -Soo takes CenterPoint as she tries to crack open the safe
and, in a twist of madness and humor, manages to however that seems trivial compared to
what lies ahead.

Thief

Frank, played by James Caan, is an ex-convict and renowned jewel thief.

He has everything he's ever wanted, including a blossoming romance with Jessie {Tuesday
welsh} a cashier at the diner.

A series of events finds him working for the crime syndicate lord, unwillingly and as he tries to
get out of the crime world, he takes on more than his fair share of bad guys, including some
rogue police.

Thief places a lot of focus on Frank's ability to crack open a safe, and he, in turn, does not
disappoint. From using machinery that looks like a drill hooked to a nitrogen gas tank, seeing
him do what he does best is riveting.
