Rarely does a piece of art serve as the inspiration for a film’s location. But, this was the case with the beach house that Robert De Niro’s Neil McCauley called home in the 1995 action classic Heat. Director Michael Mann hired renowned film scout Lori Balton to find a house that resembled Alex Colville’s painting “Pacific.”
“Pacific” depicts a man staring at the ocean through a huge picture window while a rifle sits on a table behind him. And Balton did not disappoint. After searching the entire Southern California coast, the house she finally settled on was a perfect match for Colville’s painting. And now, for fans of the crime thriller, owning a piece of cinematic history is within reach. As it turns out, McCauley’s iconic home is up for sale for a cool $21 million.
