About this list
The plan is simple: get in, take the money, get out. Then the homeowner turns out to be a killer, or the hostage turns out to be the most dangerous thing in the building. This is a list for films where a robbery or break-in goes wrong because the target is far more dangerous than the crooks planned for.
