heist plot
Planned theft scenario
A heist plot is a narrative structure centered on planning and executing a major theft—typically of money, jewels, or art from a heavily guarded location.
The genre emphasizes the assembly of specialists, elaborate preparation, and the tension of execution: Every heist plot needs a safecracker and a getaway driver.
The term applies to films, novels, and real schemes alike.
