In the 1995 film "Heat", what is the name of the detective played by Al Pacino?

In the 1995 film "Heat," the detective played by Al Pacino is Lieutenant Vincent Hanna. He leads the LAPD investigation pursuing professional thief Neil McCauley, played by Robert De Niro.

Vincent Hanna heads the Robbery-Homicide Division and becomes intensely focused on stopping McCauley’s crew after an armored-car robbery goes wrong. Although Hanna and McCauley stand on opposite sides of the law, the film presents them as unusually similar: both are disciplined professionals whose work consumes their personal lives.

The role is closely associated with Pacino’s highly energetic performance, including Hanna’s volatile interrogation style and his famous conversation with McCauley at a coffee shop. "Heat" was the first film to place Pacino and De Niro together on screen, though both appeared in "The Godfather Part II" without sharing a scene.

The character also has a real-world connection. Writer-director Michael Mann based the story partly on Chicago police officer Chuck Adamson’s pursuit of career criminal Neil McCauley. Before becoming the 1995 feature, Mann’s screenplay was adapted into the 1989 television film "L.A. Takedown," which featured a different actor as Hanna.
