Movies that feel likeTower Heist (2011)

A luxury condo manager leads a staff of workers to seek payback on the Wall Street swindler who defrauded them. With only days until the billionaire gets away with the perfect crime, the unlikely crew of amateur thieves enlists the help of petty crook Slide to steal the $20 million they’re sure is hidden in the penthouse.

If you loved Tower Heist, the closest films we have are Rush Hour (1998), Violent Night (2022) and Shaolin Soccer (2001). All three share Tower Heist's kinetic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
