About this event
PERFECT PAIRS: Book tickets for both Heat and Manhunter: The Final Cut in the same transaction to receive a discount! Investigating a bold armed robbery which has left three security guards dead, LA cop Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), whose devotion to work is threatening his third marriage, follows a trail that leads him to suspect a gang of thieves headed by Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro). Trouble is, McCauley's cunning is at least equal to Hanna's, and that makes him a hard man to nail. Still, unknown to Hanna, McCauley's gang have their own troubles. Mann's masterpiece, Heat is based on the real life criminal of the same name as De Niro's character, pursued by Detective Chuck Adamson who became Pacino's Hanna. McCauley and Adamson even met for coffee just like in the film's iconic scene, with the dialogue drawing from this real life conversation. “You never wanted a regular type life?”
