Of course it was a heist movie. Hans was trying to crack the safe of the Nakatomi Plaza and steal hundreds of millions of dollars.

Bruh, c'mon.

The point is that the plot didn't center around the heist and the criminals. Other than their basic motivation, we barely knew anything about them or how they planned it. The movie wasn't about the heist; it was about a cop named John McClane and him getting caught up in the middle of terroristic plot.

If you can't see the difference between a movie like Die Hard and a movie like Ocean's Eleven and not understand what is meant by "heist movie," I'm not sure what else to say.
