Dead Man's Wire (2025)

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. Directed by Academy Award®–nominated filmmaker Gus Van Sant and written by Austin Kolodney, Dead Man’s Wire has been celebrated at numerous festivals, including the Venice Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and AFI Fest.Crime, DramaPT1H45MR2026-01-23
