Which Heist movie?

Which heist movie had a custom torch used to cut into a safe? It was a long rod...possibly magnesium???

Didn't they do something like that on an episode of MacGuyver?

 

[The 48th Ronin]

I believe that was Thief, directed by Michael Mann and starring James Caan.

Is it the one where they cut into the top of the safe, filled it with water and set off an explosion that blew the door off? I don't remember the name of the movie but I remember the Mythbusters tried to replicate it and it didn't really work that well because the safe wasn't water tight but once the sealed it they were able to blow the door off. The only problem was most everything in the safe was either damaged or destroyed.

That has to be right. Now I need to see the movie again Odd note, diamonds will burn with enough oxygen.
