The Great Train Robbery:
The first ever heist film to be created is ‘The Great Train Robbery’ which was created in 1903, the film only lasted around 12 minutes but it changed our outlook on heist and robbery films as despite it only having 14 scenes, it consisted of many different camera techniques such as, parallel editing, small amounts of camera movement, filming on location (therefore saving on cost).
The plot summary of ‘The Great Train Robbery’ is that a group of bandits decide to break into a railroad telegraph office then proceed to hold the operator at gunpoint until he stops a train for the criminals to eventually steal from the train and the people on the train then flee in a desperate attempt to escape without repercussions.
