After 11 years in prison, an ageing master safecracker (James Caan) decides to pull one more job before retiring to a quiet, peaceful life. However, the mob finds him much too valuable and refuses to let him retire, keeping him trapped in the life he so desperately wants to leave behind. An introspective look at a man re-evaluating the life he's lived, THIEF is a fascinating, intense film, based on the novel by Frank Hohimer.
