Directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, My Own Private Idaho). Dead Man’s Wire tells the fascinating true story of the 1977 kidnapping of a prominent banker — a case that captivated the nation and unexpectedly turned the abductor into an outlaw folk hero. As the media frenzy intensifies, the standoff evolves into a spectacle of desperation, defiance, and blurred justice, with themes that still resonate today.
The film stars Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Cary Elwes, Myha’la, Colman Domingo, and Al Pacino.
