Thief Limited Edition 4K UHD bluray

For his first feature film, Michael Mann (Manhunter, Public Enemies) returned to the rainy streets of his hometown Chicago to create a fantastic neo-noir film starring James Caan (The Godfather, Rollerball) in his toughest role.

Caan plays Frank, a jewel thief and former convict who wants to settle down with his girlfriend (Tuesday Weld, Once Upon a Time in America) and start a family. But when his "loot" is thrown out of a window and the Chicago mafia starts flexing its muscles, his hopes for a quiet life become anything but...

With a first-class supporting cast in the form of James Belushi, Robert Prosky, Willie Nelson, and Dennis Farina, a rich electronic soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, and Mann's confident direction, Thief is a unique 80s film that paved the way for his later urban thrillers such as Heat and Collateral, as well as Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive.
