The glittering, high-stakes allure of stolen jewels and diamonds has powered some of cinema’s most stylish heist thrillers and comedies. In Blood Diamond (2006): A smuggler, a fisherman, and a journalist become entangled in the pursuit of a rare pink diamond during civil war. Worth seeking out is Rififi (1955): A team of aging criminals plans a meticulous, nearly silent jewelry store heist that unravels through greed and betrayal.
