Heat

Warner Bros.

Release Date: December 15

Neil McCauley, played by Robert De Niro, is a hardened professional criminal who has spent many years behind bars and is determined never to go back. A highly focused loner, McCauley's protection is that there's nothing in his life that he can't walk away from in 30 seconds flat. He and his crew -- Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer), Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore) and Nate (Jon Voight) -- are committing a series of well-planned, high-number robberies in and around Los Angeles.

Al Pacino plays Vincent Hanna, a lieutenant of detectives in L.A.P.D.'s Robbery/Homicide Division who searches through the remains of a crime for the scent of his prey and then hunts them down. Those are the elevated experiences of his life -- the rest is disorder. Divorced twice, Hanna's third marriage is precarious as he focuses all his attention on Neil McCauley.

Neil McCauley and his team rob an armored van of bearer bonds. Three guards are killed; Vincent Hanna takes over the case. McCauley and his crew are nearly impossible to identify, let alone track down. But Hanna's network of informants and the details of each man's life - wives, wives' lovers, failures and dreams, betrayals and vendettas -- generate clues Hanna is able to discover. Soon, Vincent Hanna and his detectives and Neil McCauley and his crime partners are driven towards a collision from which only some will survive.

"Heat" examines the characters of two extraordinarily driven men whose actions tear through the fabric of Los Angeles.
