Heat is a sprawling crime saga that features Val Kilmer as bank robber Chris Shiherlis, whose fate is one of the most ambiguous parts of the film.
What happened to Val Kilmer's Heat character during the movie - and in the years after it ended? Now hailed as one of the greatest crime movies of all time, the reception to Heat was somewhat muted in critical circles, and the film - quite shockingly - didn't receive a single Academy Award nomination. This is despite featuring some career-best work from director Michael Mann, cinematographer Dante Spinotti and stars Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Nearly 30 years on from Heat, Mann and co-author Meg Gardiner published a sequel novel. Fittingly dubbed Heat 2, the book acts as a prequel AND sequel, jumping from Chicago 1988 where De Niro's character's crew pull off an elaborate heist to shortly after the events of the movie and closing in 2000.
Heat 2 Explains What Happened To Val Kilmer's Chris Shiherlis Chris is one of Heat 2's main characters and the one who evolves the most. It reveals that after he had to abandon his family, Chris escaped the city with help from Jon Voight's Nate. He later found himself working as a bodyguard to a crime family in the city of Ciudad del Este. He soon falls in love with Ana Liu, his boss' daughter.
Heat 2 also finds Chris evolving from bank robber to fledging crime boss. However, he still plans to reunite with Charlene and their son, and the final section in L.A. sees him confronted with a choice of staying with Ana or going back to his old life. He also has to decide if he wants revenge on Pacino's Hanna for the death of his mentor McCauley.
