The Asphalt Jungle would be considered a heist picture if the mood didn't dictate otherwise. The standard honor among thieves theme applies, but dishonor gives the film its special noir flavor.

One of the first big caper films, this 1950 feature contributed much to the essence of the genre in its meticulous observation of planning and execution.
