About this episode

The episode explores the film 'Heat' (1995), discussing its characters, real-life inspirations, and the story behind the movie.

The heat is on this week as we go undercover in LA. If you combine the talents of two of Hollywood's most legendary actors with an up and coming director then… WHADDYA GOT?! Potentially one of the greatest crime movies ever made. But is that where the story ends or is there more truth to discover about a band of renegade crooks and the stop-at-nothing cops on their tail? Perhaps the DVD extras on "Heat" will have the answers. Who is Vincent Hanna based on? Was there a real Neil McCauley? And did the bank job really go south so quickly?!
