Bank Robbery Weekend: Thief18
Professional safecracker Frank wants one last big score before he walks away from crime for good and builds a future with the woman he loves, but the underworld isn’t ready to let him go. Starring James Caan, with a pulsing synth score by Tangerine Dream, Michael Mann’s directorial debut is a cool, tightly controlled thriller, noted for its hyper-real safecracking sequences and its influence on the visual style of crime films that followed.

Reviews
‘What distinguishes the film is its sense of atmosphere and tension, the way Mann takes you through, pace by pace, the contemporary world of big-time crime. It’s a subculture of its own’
Derek Malcolm, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
