Much of the film is based on a real-life confrontation between Chicago cop Chuck Adamson and the real Neil McCauley. Adamson was a retired police officer, whom Michael Mann had been working with off and on since the film Strade violente (1981) starring James Caan (and based upon the career of famed Chicago burglar Frank Hohimer whom Adamson had arrested). They had later worked together on two shows produced by Mann: Miami Vice (1984) and Crime Story (1986). According to Chuck Adamson (and confirmed by Michael Mann) in the Heat Special Edition DVD Documentary "Crime Stories", McCauley was a professional robber, with whom he had frequently crossed paths. Events, such as the scene between Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley in the coffee shop, where they basically tell each other that the next time they meet will be their last, and the warehouse sting, where McCauley got tipped off that the cops were around, due to an officer making a noise really happened. In real-life, Neil McCauley was killed during a robbery of a grocery store (similar to the bank heist shoot-out) by Adamson's team, who were tipped off to the robbery.
