5 Best Heist Movies of All Time

1. The Asphalt Jungle

John Huston’s tough, sordid The Asphalt Jungle is regarded as the godfather of all modern heist films as it renders the original ”bank robbery” template. Based on the novel of the same name, the movie follows a newly liberated mastermind who assembles a crew of specialists who attempt to steal half a million-dollar worth of precious jewels. Though the job goes off without a hitch, a series of double crossings, clever police adversaries, and general bad luck spin the gang and make the criminals pave their own shadowy paths.
