Movie Description
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are finally together on screen in this riveting story about an intense rivalry between expert thief Neil McCauley (De Niro) and volatile cop Vincent Hanna (Pacino). McCauley will stop at nothing to do what he does best and neither will Hanna, even though it means destroying everything around them, including the people they love.

HEAT was filmed in 65 locations in and around Los Angeles. No soundstages were used.

HEAT marks the first time that Al Pacino and Robert De Niro shared the screen. Although they both appeared in THE GODFATHER PART II, they didn't have any scenes together.

The film was originally made as L.A. TAKEDOWN for television in 1989 with an entirely different cast.

Director Michael Mann disowned the edited television version of HEAT aired by NBC.

To create a realistic character for thief Neil McCauley, Mann visited Folsom State Penitentiary to interview inmates. As McCauley, De Niro's collars were always pressed and starched perfectly, just as they would have been in prison.

Al Pacino had a clause in his contract that allowed him to make up a certain number of his own lines.

The film grossed $67.4 million domestically.

Editorial Reviews

Rolling Stone - p.138 - Peter Travers

"...[HEAT] serves to bolster the case for Michael Mann as the key American auteur of the last ten years..."
Sight and Sound - p.43-4 - John Wrathall

"...A film that deserves Oscars for photography, editing, sound and arguably scoring....Heat is packed with unforgettable subcharacters..." -- 4 out of 4 stars
USA Today - p.1D - Mike Clark

"...Gobs of talent are amassed..."
Premiere - p.35 - Christine Spines

"...[Mann's] .357 Magnum opus....Macho-intellectual chutzpah..."

"...Stunningly made and incisively acted by a large and terrific cast....[HEAT] stands apart from other films of its type by virtue of its extraordinary rich characterizations..."
Variety - Todd McCarthy

"...A sleek, accomplished piece of work, meticulously controlled and completely involving. The dark end of the street doesn't get much more inviting than this..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (12/15/1995)

"...There is absolute precision of effect here, the feeling of roles assumed instinctively..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (12/15/1995)

    This movie was beyond excellent. Not only did it have two great actors, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, but they SHARED A SCENE for the first time in Hollywood history. This movie was filled with action packed scenes, and I highly recommend it to anyone who like Action Movies, or even Pacino / De Niro.

    Heat - A great movie that made me feel like I was watching Miami Vice. Pacino / De Niro. Two monsters face off in this movie. I found myself pulling for De Niro but I always like the bad guys. Its a longer movie but I didn't find myself wishing it was over. Give it a try.
