Michael Mann’s 1981 Thief 

An ace safe cracker wants to do one last big heist for the mob before going straight.

“[Michael Mann] pounds his film into you in a combination of big, clean images; taut, edgy performances and a score which intertwines both sound and music. There is no respite from Thief; it is bravura movie making.”
