Thief: Tribute to James Caan

Michael Mann's first film! An ace safe cracker wants to do one last big heist for the mob before going straight.

Director Michael Mann's stunning debut feature stars James Caan as the professional thief of the title, a man whose desire for domestic tranquility clashes with his obligations in the underworld. Featuring a cast of standout supporting performances, with Jim Belushi as Caan's partner, Willie Nelson as his mentor and Robert Prosky as the deadly boss he has to please. Actual thieves served as technical consultants on the film, supplying an array of tools used in real heists.


"A film of style, substance, and violently felt emotion, all wrapped up in one of the most intelligent thrillers I've seen." - Roger Ebert

"The movie is loaded with so-called production values. This neonlit, nighttime Chicago is pretty enough to be framed and hung on a wall, where, of course, good movies don't belong. The music by Tangerine Dream sounds as if it wanted to have a life of its own, as if it were meant to be an album instead of a soundtrack score." - Vincent Canby (The New York Times)
