Speculative Fiction Heist/Caper Stories
- Description
- See the Wikipedia article for heist films - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heist_film "It focuses on the planning, execution, and aftermath of a theft. Versions with dominant or prominent comic elements are often called caper movies. They could be described as the analogues of caper stories in film history. A typical film includes many plot twists, with the focus on the characters' attempts to formulate a plan, carry it out, and escape with the goods. Often a nemesis must be thwarted, who might be either a figure of authority or else a former partner who turned on the group or one of its members." Film examples would be Ocean's 11, Ant-Man, and The Italian Job. This list is specifically for fantasy or science fiction heist stories. It doesn't have to be a theft exactly, but must have the set up of a heist (Mistborn would be an example). Expect the protagonist to be a con-man/woman or thief of some sort.
