Heist (Season 1)

Heist (2021) is a Netflix true-crime documentary miniseries you can watch online on iFILM. Across six episodes it lays out three audacious robberies that ordinary people nearly pulled off clean.

The cases come in pairs. A 21-year-old casino worker walks out of Vegas with millions in cash. An ambitious family man vanishes from Miami's airport with a fortune that wasn't his, having studied a TV show first to learn how people slip away. And a Kentucky regular lands at the center of one of the biggest thefts of premium bourbon ever recorded, hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth gone. The people who planned the jobs — and the ones who chased them — tell it themselves.

Directors Derek Doneen, Nick Frew and Martin Desmond Roe stitch candid interviews to slick dramatized reconstructions at a brisk, almost caper-movie pace. What wins you over is that nobody's filed neatly into villain or victim; the subjects are charming and ridiculous at once. A treat for true-crime fans who loved Tiger King.
