The origins of Heat lie not in a Hollywood boardroom, but in the streets of 1960s Chicago. The film is based on the true story of a real-life, high-end criminal named Neil McCauley and the Chicago detective, Chuck Adamson, who was determined to stop him. Michael Mann, who had worked with Adamson as a technical advisor on shows like Miami Vice , was captivated by the story of these two men—perceived adversaries who held a deep, grudging respect for one another. The legendary coffee shop scene, where Al Pacino's Lt. Vincent Hanna and Robert De Niro's Neil McCauley sit down to talk, is drawn from a real encounter between these two men in a diner.
