- Title: The Heist
- Date: 21st December 2004
- Summary: Daring heists are normally the stuff of movie make-believe: slick, smooth and incredibly complex. How do they measure up in reality: can they ever succeed, or are they crime fantasies? The Heist assembles a gang of real criminal masterminds to try to pull off the perfect crime: a reformed gangster, an ex-computer hacker, a penitent jewellery thief, a retired extortionist and a reformed armed robber. The Heist pit's the keenest criminal minds against the most sophisticated technology and security systems in the world, as well as the most experienced police and FBI detectives, to provide a fascinating insight into the criminal mind-set and its determination to foil its adversaries. In tonight's final programme the gang has to successfully kidnap a racehorse and negotiate the ransom for its safe return.
- Description:A team of multi-talented reformed criminals attempt to outwit the best security teams in the country.
