A major heist goes off as planned, but then double crosses, 
bad luck and solid police work cause everything to unravel.

When the intelligent criminal Erwin "Doc" Riedenschneider
is released from prison, 
he seeks a fifty thousand-dollar investment from the bookmaker Cobby 
to recruit a small gang of specialists for a million-dollar heist
of jewels from a jewelry. 
Doc is introduced to the lawyer Alonzo D. Emmerich 
who offers to finance the whole operation
and buy the gems immediately after the burglary.
Doc hires the safe cracker Louis Ciavelli, 
the driver Gus Minissi, and the gunman Dix Handley to the heist.
His plan works perfectly but ...

33,013 IMDb users have given a weighted average vote of 8.1 / 10

Four men plan a technically perfect crime, but the human element intervenes...

Jean Servais        ...  Tony le Stéphanois
Carl Möhner       ...  Jo le Suédois
Robert Manuel    ...  Mario Ferrati
Jules Dassin        ...  Cesar le Milanais

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048021/trivia

The much imitated heist sequence is over 32 minutes long
and contains not a single line of dialogue or music.

The value of the heist, 240,000,000 Old Francs, 
in 1955 would be worth about $6,800,000 in 2020.

Rififi's heist scene was based on an actual burglary.
