In the world of fast-paced heist movies, there's a new selection on Prime Video that's sure to get your adrenaline pumping. Two standout films, "American Heist" and "Empire State", offer a blend of crime, action, and suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
"American Heist" (2014) is set in the vibrant city of New Orleans, where the main characters, James (played by Hayden Christensen) and Frankie (Adrien Brody), are seen trying to escape the slums. James has been working at a garage and building a stable life with his girlfriend, but Frankie's proposal of a high-risk bank robbery pulls him into a dangerous scheme.
Meanwhile, "Empire State" (2013) is set in 1980s Queens. The movie revolves around Chris (Liam Hemsworth) and Eddie (Michael Angarano), who work security at a cash depot. What starts as a quick score turns into a tense, chaotic struggle to escape alive, as they find themselves dodging not just their boss, but also a determined NYPD detective, played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
For fans of heist films, these movies offer a range of tones, from intense thrillers to action comedies. Other similar films on Prime Video include "Heist" (2015), "Wheelman" (2017), "Triple 9" (2016), "Lift" (2024), and the classic "The Italian Job".
If you're in the mood for something new, consider "Play Dirty" (2025), a heist thriller starring Mark Wahlberg as a thief involved in a high-stakes heist against a South American dictator, the New York mafia, and a billionaire. Directed by Shane Black, it promises intense action and crime drama, premiering on Prime Video on October 1, 2025.
For a darker, more intense heist experience, "21 Bridges" (2019) features a city-wide lockdown and high-intensity pursuit involving cop killers, with themes of conspiracy and survival. While it has a different tone compared to the comedic "The Pickup", it shares the adrenaline-fueled, action-packed heist vibe.
Whether you're a fan of crime dramas, action movies, or just looking for a thrilling watch, these heist movies on Prime Video are sure to deliver. So sit back, relax, and get ready for a rollercoaster ride of crime, action, and suspense.
