  • Summary

  • Sir Michael Caine - perhaps best known as gang leader Charlie Croker in 60s crime caper The Italian Job - tells the stories of remarkable heists and extraordinary robberies from around the world, as remembered by the masterminds, detectives, victims, journalists and witnesses that lived through them.

    For more than 60 years, Caine has played thieves, criminals, gangsters and the detectives trying to catch them. But there’s Hollywood and then there’s real life... and that’s when things get really interesting.

    From the largest bank burglary in American history, to the world’s most audacious book heist, Heist with Michael Caine travels to America, Australia, Stockholm, Antwerp and everywhere in-between to tell true stories behind the world’s most daring heists.

    A Somethin’ Else production for Audible Originals.

Fantastic, wraps you up and carries you along

A great listen. Atmospheric, funny and exciting. I can’t wait to listen to them all. Although maybe they would have a better time figuring out “who done it” if whenever they refer to a unknown member of the gang they didn’t call them a he...although great for the female criminal fraternity to be unexamined!

Interesting but drawn out

Michael Caine is a great narrator but this collection of stories is just not not worth wasting his talent on. I found the presentation annoying, for the continual interruptions of music (totally unnecessary), often louder than the voices and irritating to the ears, The stories were drawn out too much by the introduction of witnesses retelling their experiences. I gave up on it after a while.

Super fascinating little dive into heists

Great little series told by the fantastic Michael Caine. Really interesting to hear about some of the world's most famous heists and robberies, just a pity there isn't more episodes.

True crime listening at it's best.

Sir Michael is again captivating with first class narration and incredible story lines. Episode 5 is my favorite.

Interesting

Michael Caine narration was excellent. The stories of these hugely extravagant heists are curiously interesting because how the thieves think about the ‘complications’ surrounding the ‘goal’.

Caine: Brilliant; Music: Constant Distraction

I was so very excited at the prospect of listening to these podcast--after all, I've adored Michael Caine forever! Sadly, this audio production is simply awful. The constant introduction of NOISE--the audio director's idea of a cute soundtrack, I suppose--made the production unbearable to listen to.

Background Music

The podcasts are interesting and enjoyable, however the constant background music beat is very annoying.

Worth The Listen

Michael Caine just has the voice for the narration of heists that have gone down in our history books. If I ever pulled one off I sure would want him to narrate the story..maybe along with Mr.Freeman. The episodes are good to the point and give you a good overview of everything that took place. Easy to follow and understand and I enjoy them and they've made my workdays all the more bearable..

Amazing

Absolutely phenomenal. The way its narrated, the interviews, the set up, the music. Its all perfectly done. The crown jewel is Michael Cain. Who better to narrate then the original Italian job? Mr. Cain is outstanding in this production.

Great

I’ve seen Michael Caine in lots of highly intense movies. He reads Heist like he’s telling a story of one his movies. Production level is a 10. Michael Caine had to read this. He has the perfect voice for narration. And of course the stories will definitely keep you listening.
