Top 5 Heist Thriller Movies to Binge This Weekend (#1 Is an Underrated Gem)

Looking for thrilling heist movies to watch this weekend? You’ve found the perfect list! Here are five of the best, recent heist thrillers you can stream now on platforms like Netflix and HBO Max.

Heist thrillers have consistently delivered some of the most exciting and suspenseful moments in film for decades. Classics like Point Break and Heat remain beloved, and the genre continues to thrive with impressive new films in the 21st century.

Wrath Of Man

Many consider Wrath of Man to be one of Jason Statham’s strongest films from the 2020s, and it’s a thrilling heist movie you won’t want to miss. Released in 2021, the film centers on H, a new and highly skilled security guard for an armored truck. Directed by Guy Ritchie, Wrath of Man also stars Holt McCallany, Josh Hartnett, and Andy Garcia.

Stream Wrath of Man now on Netflix.

Baby Driver

Edgar Wright, the director behind films like Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, delivered a hugely entertaining heist movie with 2017’s Baby Driver. It’s a thrilling film packed with a great soundtrack and a talented cast including Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez, Jamie Foxx, Jon Bernthal, and Lily James.

Good Time

Though Marty Supreme is now considered a potential frontrunner for the 2026 Oscars, it probably wouldn’t have been made without the success of the 2017 film Good Time. That earlier movie, starring a standout performance by Robert Pattinson, was a darkly comedic and intense thriller directed by the Safdie brothers (with Benny Safdie also acting in it). It follows a small-time criminal trying to raise bail money while navigating the gritty side of New York City.

Stream Good Time now on HBO Max.

The Town

I absolutely love The Town – it’s truly one of the best heist movies ever made, and if you’re a fan of the genre, you seriously need to see it. It was Ben Affleck’s second time directing, following Gone Baby Gone, and came out in 2010. With a fantastic cast including Affleck himself, Rebecca Hall, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Titus Welliver, and Blake Lively, the movie follows a crew of robbers in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Even now, years later, it’s still a phenomenal film that really stands the test of time.

Stream The Town now on HBO Max.

Thief

Before the acclaimed heist film Heat, Michael Mann directed Thief in 1981. Starring James Caan, this movie is a classic of the genre and heavily influenced many heist films that followed. It remains a captivating experience today, especially with its incredible electronic soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. It’s a must-see for any fan of the genre.

Stream Thief now on Tubi.
