(Image credit: Netflix; Shutterstock) A heist thriller is simple but enticing fun. You've got your crew, the plan and about a hundred ways for it to fall apart. Formulaic? Sure, but we like it that way! We want a great cast, an impossible scheme and an incredible payoff. And that's why we keep coming back to these kinds of movies.Netflix has a ton of heist thrillers in its library — more than most people realize, especially once you start looking past all the front-page rows populated by the algorithm. The real trouble is knowing where to dig for the hidden gems. With so much content competing for your attention, these lesser-known thrillers are easy to miss.To help you narrow it down, I've unearthed three fantastic Netflix heist movies that you probably haven’t seen and maybe haven't even heard of.

Jun-seok (Lee Je-hoon) gets out of prison to find his cut from the last job is now worthless, so he pitches his friends on one more: Rob a mob-run gambling den stacked with American cash.The job is clean, but the problem is that they also walk out with the den's surveillance drives. That's when the owner puts an ex-cop turned contract killer named Han (Park Hae-soo) on their trail. Choi Woo-shik of "Parasite" is in the crew, and Park Hae-soo of "Squid Game" is hunting them, and director Yoon Sung-hyun shoots the whole 134-minute chase with a sickly yet gorgeous reddish haze.

Their targets are a series of legendary vaults built by a locksmith and named after the operas in Wagner's Ring cycle, each one supposedly harder to open than the last.This particular heist flick is light and oddly romantic. Schweighöfer plays Sebastian with an anxious, giddy charm that makes watching a man listen to tumblers gripping. It runs a little over two hours, but it's a lean watch that's easy to get into, especially if you enjoyed the rest of the movies on this list.Stream now on Netflix Follow Tom's Guide on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our up-to-date news, analysis, and reviews in your feeds.
