Plot!
Thomas Crown, a young, handsome millionaire pulls off a perfect crime by having five men rob a bank and dump the money - approx. $2.6 million - in a trash can, which Crown retrieves later and stores in a Geneva bank. Vicki Anderson, an independent insurance investigator, is contracted to investigate the heist. As she digs deeper into the case she begins to suspect Crown's involvement. In an attempt to get closer she begins seeing Crown socially, openly telling him she is investigating him. Their relationship evolves into an affair; this affair however is threatened by Vicki's obligation to bring Thomas Crown to justice.
Crown decides to organize another robbery for the sheer sake of rebelling against the authority. He asks Vicki to join him in his flight afterwards, but she betrays him to her contractors. Moving in to make the arrest, she finds Crown sent a messenger in his place with a salutation. Crown is then shown flying away in a jet, a smile on his face.
My favorite Steve McQueen film. He is just so cool in this film.

One of my favorite movies, even though the plot has huge holes in it. This looks so suave and elegant, and hugely '60s in so many ways (split screen technique, Faye's fashions), plus the robbery is excitingly staged, that I don't worry about the inconsistencies.
