Heist is a 2015 American crime thriller film directed by Scott Mann and written by Stephen Cyrus Sepher and Max Adams, based on the original story by Sepher. The film stars Robert De Niro, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kate Bosworth, Morris Chestnut, Dave Bautista, Sepher and Gina Carano. The plot of the film revolves around a casino heist by an employee who needs to pay for his sick daughter's treatment.
The film was released on November 13, 2015, by Lionsgate Premiere.
Luke Vaughn, a man working in a Southern casino run by "The Pope", has a sick daughter in a hospital. The money he earns is not enough to pay the medical bills. Vaughn must pay for her treatment by Friday and desperately needs $300,000, but Pope refuses his plea for a loan and instead fires him, with his right hand man "Dog" beating up Vaughn when he objects.
Vaughn is approached by Cox and agrees to rob the money, which the casino is laundering for the mob. After a $3 million heist, the masked thieves are intercepted by Dog's henchmen. A gun battle ensues, wounding one of the thieves. They are forced to hijack a city bus, number 657, after their getaway driver escapes in terror. Police Officer Kris Bajos is parked a half block from the bus stop. Kris hears the gunshots coming from the bus and pursues in her police vehicle.
Pope orders Dog to retrieve the money, resulting in Dog going on a murderous rampage to learn who all the thieves are, killing multiple people. While Pope is unsympathetic to Vaughn's situation, he is alienated from his own daughter, Sydney, so he orders Dog to leave Vaughn's sick daughter alone.
As the thieves commandeer the bus from its driver, Bernie, they take off the masks and Dog's henchmen identify them. As Kris chases the bus, Cox nearly shoots her. The rest of the police cars pursue and post roadblocks. To make Kris negotiate with them, Vaughn writes a passenger's phone number on a bus window. Vaughn warns her that Cox will kill some of the passengers, including the pregnant Pauline, if Kris doesn't order the police to clear the roadblocks. Kris rams the roadblock, allowing the bus to enter the interstate.
