Details
When you're trying to figure out how to write a heist, this is a story where a team of people, each having a different role and individual part to play, accomplish something that they can only do by working together, and the story is moved by our interest in their interaction and how they achieve the goal. You have to balance an ensemble cast, elements of thrillers, and the need to deliver satisfying twists while also keeping the story moving forward.
