History

Historical Context

In 1995 Michael Mann released the heist film Heat, whose atmospheric score by Elliot Goldenthal introduced a “guitar orchestra” and featured tracks from U2/Eno and Moby. Heat established a template for big-budget crime thrillers, a model echoed in David Leitch’s 2026 Amazon MGM Studios film How to Rob a Bank, now launched on Prime Video to expand streaming’s high-stakes repertoire.
