Obsessive master thief Neil McCauley leads a top-notch crew on various daring heists throughout Los Angeles while determined detective Vincent Hanna pursues him without rest.

Notes on the 24th May Screening Introduction:
When released in 1995, Michael Mann’s HEAT was seen as a superior (if long) crime movie starring two Hollywood icons. 30 years later, a cult of devotees consider it an epic masterpiece of American cinema that powerfully explores morality, masculinity and the city of Los Angeles. Plus, it has one of the greatest ever action set-pieces. In his short introduction to the film, writer and HEAT-fan Ben Slater will share the fascinating history behind this ‘LA Crime Story’ and its amazing afterlife.
