The following are some elements of heist films that seem to transcend the genreSlide4
The anti hero protagonist
A natural leader
Charismatic
DaringSlide5
The outfit
The mismatched crew to help with the heist
Each with a talent and or personality trait
Sometimes at odds with other members of the groupSlide6
The mark
Not a likeable person
Normally dangerous in some way
You WANT them to lose outSlide7
The wow factor
Normally the
unique element of the heist
This can be:
Costumes, getaway method, leverage
, how they
break in, skills shownSlide8
Everything goes wrong!

The heist normally
has some sort of hindrance
Someone screws up
through selfishness or lack
of skills
Or perhaps the bad
guy knew what was
coming?
