Former bank robber breaks down 9 more bank-heist scenes in movies and TV
Cain Vincent Dyer, a former bank robber, breaks down the realism of group bank heists, as well as armored car and ATM robberies, in "Point Break" (1991), with Keanu Reeves; "The Town" (2010), starring Ben Affleck; and "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017), with Tom Holland and Zendaya. He looks at the safety protocols of banks and law enforcement when dealing with bank robberies in "2 Guns" (2013), with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg; "Hell or High Water" (2016), with Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges; "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" S4E21 (2017); and "Ambulance" (2022), with Jake Gyllenhaal. Dyer also explains the damage caused by robbing banks in "American Heist" (2014), with Hayden Christensen and Adrien Brody; and "Heaven's Burning" (1997).
Dyer served in the United States Marine Corps. He initially turned to bank robbery after threats to his family by a Mexican cartel, but after paying off the debt, he continued to rob banks for personal gain. He says he robbed over 100 banks across California between 1999 and 2001. He eventually turned himself in and served nine years in prison after pleading guilty to six robberies. He now works as a life coach and motivational speaker, working with victims of violent crime and helping newly released prisoners reintegrate into society.
