Based on a true story, the 1977 kidnapping of a prominent banker grips the nation and turns the abductor into an outlaw folk hero. As the media frenzy peaks, the standoff becomes a spectacle of desperation, defiance and blurred justice, which resonates even today.
Directed by Gus Van Sant Starring Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Colman Domingo, Cary Elwes & Al Pacino.
