On the morning of February 8, 1977...
Anthony G. "Tony" Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgård), 44, entered the office of Richard O. Hall (Dacre Montgomery), president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun wired with a "dead man's wire" from the trigger to Hall's head.
The latest film from legendary auteur Gus Van Sant is the true story of the stand-off that took the world by storm as Tony demanded $5 million, no charges or prosecution, and a personal apology from the Halls for cheating him out of what he was "owed." Featuring an exceptional cast including Al Pacino and Colman Domingo, Dead Man's Wire is an intensely gripping and wildly entertaining true crime thriller.
