Big Scores and Bigger Problems Await in the Best Heist Movies on Tubi
Elaborate schemes and getaway plans that don't always go according to schedule. Discover heist movies worth stealing a movie night for, streaming free on Tubi.
Hollywood's most memorable criminal crews aren't exactly known for playing it safe. They have expensive tastes, questionable loyalties, and a remarkable ability to turn one bad decision into five even worse ones. But that's part of their appeal. Watching a group of thieves attempt the impossible can make even the most law-abiding viewer root for a successful getaway, especially when the people pulling off the job are entertaining enough to make you forget they're technically the villains.
The genre is getting another ambitious crew with How to Rob a Bank, arriving in theaters November 13. Director David Leitch is putting a social-media spin on the familiar bank robbery, where getting away with the money is only part of the assignment. Starring Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Pete Davidson, Anna Sawai, and John C. Reilly, the action thriller follows a crew of bank robbers who broadcast their crimes online, turning daring heists into viral spectacles. Their growing popularity attracts the attention of an FBI agent and a software engineer determined to bring their operation to an end. The crew may have mastered the art of getting views, but staying one step ahead of the authorities is another challenge entirely.
Every aspiring criminal mastermind needs a little inspiration, and Tubi has a lineup of heists worth studying from the safety of your couch. The Heist Films collection is home to ambitious thieves, elaborate operations, and getaway plans that could've benefited from another rehearsal. More criminal adventures await in the Heist Movies selection, where the stakes are high and trusting your partners is a gamble. Eight movies, countless questionable decisions, and enough criminal ambition to make your next movie night feel like a major operation.
The crew is assembled. The target is movie night. Let's get to work.
Wrath of Man
H doesn't say much, but he's remarkably good at handling situations that would send most armored-truck employees straight to the nearest exit. His coworkers are impressed. The people trying to rob him have different opinions.
A mysterious new security guard has the employees of a Los Angeles armored-truck company asking questions in Wrath of Man, a crime thriller directed by Guy Ritchie. Jason Statham takes on the role of H, whose composure and unusual talent for confronting heavily armed robbers quickly attract attention. His abilities raise questions about his past, and the deeper the story goes, the clearer it becomes that his reasons for taking the job extend far beyond collecting a paycheck.
Forget the usual heist movie where viewers spend the entire runtime cheering for the thieves. Wrath of Man approaches the criminal underworld through shifting perspectives, gradually revealing how a violent robbery connects to a much larger story of betrayal and revenge. Its nonlinear storytelling makes earlier scenes worth reconsidering once new information comes to light, and the armored-truck confrontations deliver the hard-hitting action Statham fans expect. H may be the newest employee, but he's clearly overqualified for the position.

Gone in 60 Seconds
Fifty cars. One night. A crew of talented thieves. Memphis Raines has accepted the kind of assignment that makes a regular nine-to-five look like an extended vacation.
Retirement doesn't last long for legendary car thief Randall "Memphis" Raines in Gone in 60 Seconds, where his younger brother's involvement with a dangerous criminal forces him back into the business. Nicolas Cage leads the operation, which requires stealing 50 luxury vehicles before an unforgiving deadline. His mission sends him back to old associates and a lifestyle he thought he'd left behind. Angelina Jolie joins the action as Sway, a skilled mechanic and former flame whose expertise becomes essential to the operation.
Every vehicle on Memphis's target list presents another challenge, turning the operation into a high-speed scavenger hunt where one mistake could derail the entire night. His team has to coordinate their movements, avoid police attention, and keep the operation running despite the growing pressure of their impossible deadline. And when the legendary Eleanor enters the picture, even viewers who don't know much about cars might find themselves developing a sudden appreciation for a classic Mustang.

Blue Streak
Miles Logan has a brilliant plan for recovering a stolen diamond. Unfortunately, the building where he hid it has become a police station, meaning his next criminal operation requires a rather unexpected career change.
Recovering a stolen diamond becomes a full-time undercover assignment in Blue Streak, where jewel thief Miles discovers that his former hiding place is now occupied by the Los Angeles Police Department. Martin Lawrence gives his signature comedic energy to Miles, whose solution involves impersonating a seasoned detective despite having absolutely no legitimate police experience. His deception becomes more complicated when the real officers start treating him like one of their own.
Miles's greatest talent might not be stealing jewels but convincing everyone around him that he knows exactly what he's doing. Every successful deception creates another problem, particularly when his unexpected ability to solve crimes earns him attention he'd much rather avoid. Miles came looking for a diamond, but he might accidentally leave with an impressive résumé in law enforcement.

Point Break
Surfing all day and robbing banks on the side sounds like a questionable career plan. Bodhi and his crew, however, seem convinced they've discovered the perfect work-life balance.
Southern California's surfing scene becomes the unlikely center of an FBI investigation in Point Break, where rookie agent Johnny Utah goes undercover to track down a group of bank robbers. Keanu Reeves portrays Johnny, whose assignment introduces him to Bodhi, a charismatic thrill-seeker played by Patrick Swayze. The closer Johnny gets to the surfers, the more complicated his loyalties become, particularly when their adrenaline-fueled lifestyle starts challenging everything he thought he understood about the people he's investigating.
Few heist movies make their criminals look like they're having quite this much fun. The surfing sequences, daring robberies, and high-speed chases give the story an infectious energy, but Bodhi's philosophy of living without limits adds an unusual dimension to the criminal crew. The bank robberies might pay the bills, but these guys are clearly more interested in chasing the next thrill.
This title is available on Tubi until further notice.
Mad Money
Bridget Cardigan has discovered a potential solution to her financial problems, and it involves stealing money that the government is planning to destroy anyway. Technically, the bills are headed for the trash. Her reasoning is starting to sound dangerously convincing.
Three women discover an unusual opportunity for financial independence in Mad Money, where a scheme to steal worn-out currency from the Federal Reserve Bank becomes a risky criminal enterprise. Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, and Katie Holmes bring Bridget, Nina, and Jackie to life, an unlikely trio whose different circumstances and personalities make their partnership entertainingly unpredictable. Bridget's financial struggles inspire the operation, but pulling it off requires the women to coordinate their workplace access, conceal their activities, and keep their ambitious plans from attracting attention.
Keaton's ambitious Bridget, Latifah's practical Nina, and Holmes's enthusiastic Jackie approach their criminal enterprise with very different personalities, creating plenty of entertaining disagreements along the way. Their scheme also has an amusingly ordinary quality to it, since the women must juggle personal responsibilities and workplace routines alongside their secret operation. Who knew financial independence could require so much sneaking around at work?

21
Ben Campbell is a brilliant MIT student who needs money for medical school. His solution involves mathematics, a trip to Las Vegas, and a professor whose extracurricular activities probably aren't listed in the university handbook.
Blackjack becomes a high-stakes mathematical operation in 21, where gifted MIT student Ben Campbell joins a secretive team trained to count cards in Las Vegas casinos. Jim Sturgess's Ben has a talent for numbers that catches the attention of professor Micky Rosa, played by Kevin Spacey. Under Rosa's guidance, the students begin using coordinated signals and carefully rehearsed strategies to win enormous sums of money. But the excitement of their success introduces temptations and rivalries that threaten to derail the operation.
Watching the students transform blackjack into a carefully orchestrated operation gives the film its distinctive appeal. Their disguises, coded signals, and coordinated movements make the casino floor feel like the setting for an elaborate robbery, even though their strategy doesn't involve breaking into a vault. Getting an A in mathematics is impressive. Using your homework to finance a luxury weekend in Vegas is an entirely different achievement.

A Fish Called Wanda
A successful diamond robbery should leave everyone celebrating their newfound wealth. Instead, Wanda and her criminal associates are far more interested in betraying one another before anyone gets a chance to enjoy the money.
Trust is in remarkably short supply among the criminals of A Fish Called Wanda, whose successful diamond robbery quickly becomes a competition to see who can betray their partners first. Jamie Lee Curtis is Wanda and her efforts to secure the stolen jewels involve manipulating her fellow thieves and charming an unsuspecting barrister. John Cleese, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin complete an eccentric ensemble whose competing schemes become difficult to keep under control.
Getting away with the diamonds might be the easiest part of this crime, considering how determined everyone is to sabotage one another. Every character has a different agenda, and their attempts to outsmart one another create a chain reaction of misunderstandings, romantic complications, and outrageous confrontations. The diamonds may be valuable, but watching everyone sabotage their own chances of getting them is the real treasure.

The Misfits
Richard Pace has spent years perfecting the art of stealing valuable things, but his latest assignment comes with a crew whose idea of criminal activity includes a surprisingly ambitious moral mission. Even professional thieves have to adjust to changing workplace expectations.
A heavily secured prison becomes the target of an elaborate gold heist in The Misfits, where international thief Richard Pace is recruited by an unconventional crew of criminals. Pierce Brosnan gives his familiar charm to Pace, whose experience makes him a valuable addition to the ambitious operation. The team must combine specialized skills, careful preparation, and a willingness to take enormous risks to reach its target, although their competing personalities and motivations create challenges that go well beyond opening a locked vault.
The movie embraces the glamorous side of international heists, sending its characters into a world of expensive locations, elaborate disguises, and ambitious criminal schemes. The crew's different abilities add a playful ensemble dynamic, giving the operation the feel of a high-stakes puzzle where everyone has a role to play. Stealing gold is difficult enough. Doing it with a team of strong personalities deserves its own degree of difficulty.
