Social: The sensitive issue of Jewish people and the war has been addressed in this film in that people of the later generations want revenge for the crimes committed in the war. The robbers are,in a sense, portrayed as saviours/heroes as they are punishing people who had profited from the war. However, it is their ends that justify their means as robbing a bank isn't a normal (or the best) way to do it.
Historic: Bank robberies have happened frequently throughout American history[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_bank_robbers_and_robberies]. However, Inside Man put a twist on it by making the motive a fulfilment of an ideal rather than for monetary gain. Also, usually bank robbers are portrayed as desperate men with big guns. These robbers are very smart, they even outsmart the police who have superior resources.
Economic: The large divide between rich and poor in America and the pursuit of "The American Dream" may convince people into thinking that they have to rob a bank to become rich. However, Inside Man twists this ideal in that not only money is kept in a bank, people hide things that they don't want anyone else to see.
Political: American politics are usually biased toward making the richer citizens richer by giving them tax breaks etc. Inside Man could be trying to say that them and their money is not as safe as they think it is and that they should not be so greedy.
