Well but it wasn't a "heist" because there wasn't an elaborate scheme to get in and out like that.
Maybe Die Hard 3?
That to me is a better example of a heist movie disguised as an action buddy flick.

They took over the building to steal the money.. that is technically a heist.. what stop them was an off duty barefooted cop , a Twinkie loving on duty cop, and a limo driver that seemed to be working a 24 hr shift.. even in part 3 Bruce said it’s always about the money which means he’s referring to the first film that the motives of the criminal was taking the money.. yes I would put die hard 3 up there to.. but no point break or no dead President pretty much said the list was bullshit
Oh I did not see those were missing.
But it's tough to rank these things because the top 20 are going to be original films that set up the entire genre
Dead president was 1 of the few that actually based off a true story… point break come on that’s Patrick Swaze being a bad guy and pretty much Keanu reeves breakout film as an action hero.. they got to add those.. hell a movie literally did a spin-off spoof scene dedicated to point break
Actually MANY of the best heist movies are based on real stories.
I agree with point break.
I think again because of the strong buddy action movie and crazy stunts the heist parts get lost. But you made a strong case. I'm with you.
