Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Crime movies can take on a completely different tone when they are based on real life, and even heist movies often take inspiration from true stories. Movies based on real crimes are among the most popular in the crime genre. Goodfellas, The Untouchables and Zodiac all have added layers of jeopardy because the viewer knows that the criminals and the victims are all real.
Michael Mann remade his own TV movie, L.A. Takedown, with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro back together for the first time since The Godfather Part II. Heat is an undeniable heist classic, but it has its roots in real life. Mann based the character of Vincent Hanna on Chicago detective Chuck Adamson, who pursued a criminal named Neal McAuley in the 1960s. Mann didn't even change McAuley's name in the movie.
6 Rob The Mob Based on Tommy and Rosemarie Uva's series of robberies Rob the Mob follows two small-time crooks who hatch a daring plan to steal directly from the New York City mafia. By listening to testimony at John Gotti's trial, Tommy learns that guns aren't allowed in mafia social clubs, so he figures he can walk in unopposed and take anything he wants from the defenseless gangsters.
