Triple Frontier (2019)
Netflix’s Triple Frontier is a powerful parable about the ramifications of greed. Some ex-soldiers get together to steal a fortune from a drug lord, but their refusal to leave behind any cash nearly costs them everything. The money weighs down the helicopter, so they load as much of it as they can onto the backs of mules and embark on a treacherous journey through the jungle.
When they bump into the drug lord’s reinforcements, they have to dump most of their money into a ravine and the survivors decide to give what little remains of the score to their dead comrade’s family.
Fast Five (2011)
As the Fast Five, is a heist movie that takes the action overseas to Brazil.

Wrath Of Man (2021)
Jason Statham reunited with Guy Ritchie for the visceral action thriller Wrath of Man in 2021. Statham plays a cash truck driver whose firearm skills are called into question when he effortlessly dispatches teams of robbers trying to get to the cash he’s carrying.
As it turns out, he’s a crime lord looking for the cash truck robbers who killed his son. Robbing a cash truck is dangerous enough without a gun-toting Statham eagerly awaiting the hit.

Ant-Man (2015)
Every movie released by Marvel Studios is a superhero movie, but the MCU has explored different genre frameworks. Marvel has dabbled in space operas, conspiracy thrillers, and high school comedies. With Ant-Man, the studio tried its hand at a high-tech heist movie.

Army Of The Dead (2021)
Flying into Las Vegas, infiltrating a highly secure facility, and breaking into the vault of a wealthy magnate would be a daring endeavor on the best of days. But in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, the crew attempts this heist while Sin City has been overtaken by hordes of the undead.
The zombies in Army of the Dead aren’t regular zombies seen in George A. Romero movies; they’re separated into two tribes: “The Shamblers,” which are a lot like shuffling Romero zombies, and “The Alphas,” who can think and reason and operate like a pack of wolves.
Dragged Across Concrete (2018)
