Heist is a 2001 American heist crime drama film written and directed by David Mamet and starring Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito and Delroy Lindo, with Rebecca Pidgeon, Ricky Jay, Patti Lupone and Sam Rockwell in supporting roles.

Heist received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its characters and script.
