Blackmail and Extortion Movies

"The term "blackmail" is the act of demanding money from someone under the threat of having damaging information released about them if the money isn't paid. The first known appearance of the word "black-maill" in print was in a Scottish document from 1530 in which a serial criminal named Adam Scot had his life cut short with a beheading.
The difference between blackmail and extortion is that the latter includes threats of violence or damage to a person or property. The legal term "extortion" originally applied only to public officials but has now been expanded to include any situation where someone is threatened with violence or property damage if they fail to comply with someone's demands.
Blackmail and extortion have been at the center of many movie plots. Here are the best movies on the topic."
