There is nothing like a good heist film. Not only do they have great action scenes, but they usually involve fascinating plots, cool gadgets, and interesting characters. The stakes are extremely high in a heist film due to the risk of death and imprisonment. It takes a lot of planning to pull off a good heist, and sometimes the planning make up the most interesting aspects of the film. When it comes down to the heist, sometimes the robbers get away, and sometimes they don’t. Although many of the heist films out there involve men, some of the best heist films are centered around women.

These heist films are filled with empowered women who know how to create some chaos. In films like Widows and Ocean’s 8, we watch the characters meticulously plan the robbery down to every detail. It is fascinating to see them gain the resources they need, and it is always great to be introduced to some cool gadgets. In Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown, which celebrated its 20th anniversary a few years ago, we watch as the main character, Jackie, pulls off a heist while controlling the whole situation through manipulating the police and other criminals. Throughout the years, there have been several great heist films carried out by smart, and sometimes deadly, women — let’s take a look at the best ones, ranked.
