Heat

Heat is a 1995 American epic crime film written and directed by Michael Mann. It features an ensemble cast, starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Tom Sizemore, Diane Venora, Amy Brenneman, Ashley Judd, Mykelti Williamson, William Fichtner, Natalie Portman, Wes Studi, Ted Levine, Jon Voight, Danny Trejo, Dennis Haysbert, and Val Kilmer. In the film, LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Pacino) attempts to apprehend career thief Neil McCauley (De Niro), leading to strain on their professional lives and personal relationships. Mann wrote the original script for Heat in 1979, basing it on Chicago police officer Chuck Adamson's pursuit of criminal Neil McCauley, after whom De Niro's character is named. The script was first used for a television pilot developed by Mann, which became the 1989 television film L.A. Takedown after the pilot did not receive a series order.
