Wrath Of Man
Wrath of Man is often regarded as one of Jason Statham’s best movies of the 2020s and is a must-see action-packed heist thriller. Released in 2021, Wrath of Man follows Statham’s mysterious protagonist H, a new security guard for a cash truck with expert combat skills. The Guy Ritchie movie features a great ensemble cast that includes Holt McCallany, Josh Hartnett, and Andy Garcia.

Baby Driver
Released in 2017, Baby Driver remains one of the most entertaining heist movies of the 2010s, written and directed by auteur filmmaker Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World). Baby Driver is a wild ride with a fantastic soundtrack and an even better cast, featuring performances by Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez, Jamie Foxx, Jon Bernthal, and Lily James.

Good Time
While Marty Supreme has become a major 2026 Oscar contender, it likely would not exist without the acclaim of 2017’s Good Time, featuring one of Robert Pattinson’s most underrated performances. Directed by the Safdie brothers and co-starring Benny Safdie, Good Time is a darkly funny psychological thriller about an amateur robber searching for bail money in the underbelly of New York City.

The Town
The Town is one of the most iconic heist movies ever made and a must-see for all fans of the genre. Released in 2010, The Town was Ben Affleck’s second directorial effort after 2007’s Gone Baby Gone, starring Affleck, Rebecca Hall, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Titus Welliver, and Blake Lively. Following a group of robbers in Charlestown, MA, this is a signature all-time great heist film that still holds up today.
Stream The Town now on HBO Max.
Thief
Before there was Heat, which some may consider the best heist movie ever made, there was Michael Mann’s 1981 heist thriller Thief. Starring legendary tough guy actor James Caan, Thief paved the way for more heist thrillers that came after it, and still makes for an immersive watch nowadays with an amazing synth-infused soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. Don’t miss this all-time classic heist movie.
