Besides Heat, the only movie that Robert De Niro and Al Pacino were in together was the Godfather Part II. Unfortunately, they didn't have any scenes together. But in Heat, they have one, and its a doozy.
The film deals with two very strong willed men. One is a cop (Al Pacino) & and one is a robber (Robert De Niro). The film deals with this intense cat & mouse between the two.
But this is THE SCENE. Its the scene that everybody saw in the trailer for the film and made them go see the movie. The scene involves two of the greatest actors of their generation just going toe to toe. They're such great actors, that in the film, its hardly to really root for somebody. I know tradition always says you root for the good guy, but its hard to do that in "Heat". You just want them to keep it going.
I guess that why Heat is such a gem of a movie. There really is no protagonist. Its kind of a share role between De Niro and Pacino. They both count on each other to move the film along.
