Now, Discovery Channel is bringing this extraordinary event to life in a fast-paced documentary, offering viewers a minute-by-minute breakdown of the crime.
The network has commissioned 'Louvre Heist: Minute by Minute' from Pioneer Productions, the team behind popular series like 'Mother Undercover' and 'In The Womb: Animal Babies'.

The film will feature exclusive witness testimonies, expert forensic analysis, and detailed graphic reconstructions. These elements will provide a step-by-step account of the heist, including the moment the thieves breached the museum's perimeter and disappeared with the priceless treasures. The documentary will also delve into the minds of the criminals, exploring theories about their motives, the organizers behind the operation, and the fatal mistakes that led to their capture.
Two men have been arrested in connection with the robbery, and charges have been filed against four suspects. One suspect is still at large. Howard Lee, Chief Creative Officer of US Networks and President of Discovery Networks, expressed his excitement about the project, stating, 'This cinematic-level heist stunned the world, and we’re breaking it down minute by minute. With exclusive footage and real-time storytelling, this special delivers the kind of jaw-dropping, edge-of-your-seat experience Discovery does best.'
