A Venn Diagram of perfection, Michael Mann's HEAT presents a mid-1990s Los Angeles as a sprawling concrete jungle of conformity that neither the cops or the robbers want any part of. Three masters at the height of their careers -- Mann, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, converging to make this masterpiece is the stuff of cinephile dreams.

Join Joe on this deep-dive into all things HEAT -- how the story came to be, what events inspired Mann to make this masterpiece, and where the story will go from here for the upcoming HEAT 2 soon-to-be-announced!
