Introduction -- Mann and movies. Michael Mann: Hollywood auteur? -- Film and philosophy -- Crime and solitude. Being the Thief (1981) -- Psychological resolution in Manhunter (1986) -- Isolation and desolation in Heat (1995) -- Indifference and compassion in Collateral (2004) -- Pretence and romance in Miami vice (2006) -- History and social conscience. Origins of evil in The keep (1983) -- Utopia lost in The last of the Mohicans (1992) -- Hazardous authenticity in The insider (1999) -- Being the people's champion in Ali (2001) -- Conclusion: ethics, engagement and enemies.

Michael Mann has delivered some of the most intelligent and complex Hollywood films of recent decades, including Manhunter, Heat, The Insider and Collateral. This book argues that the films of this important director are best understood as existential dramas, engaging critically with existentialist philosophy and its place within the societies Michael Mann depicts.{C8}His protagonists{C8}exhibit both the benefits and difficulties of an existential way of life, especially{C8}problems with social engagement experienced by the conflicted male characters. From Thief to The Last of the Mohicans{C8}and Miami Vice, this study illuminates the philosophical complexities of Michael Mann's films.
