Dead Man's Wire

In 1977, former real estate developer Tony Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgård) takes drastic action against a wealthy mortgage broker, M.L. Hall (Al Pacino), whom he feels cheated him out of potential profit after buying land to develop. With the help of Fred Temple, a local radio host who records his demands and acts as a liaison with the police, Tony holds Richard 'Dick' Hall (Dacre Montgomery), M.L.'s son, hostage until he gets $5 million in compensation and an apology from M.L. The FBI eventually gets involved, and the situation escalates into a tense standoff that captivates the nation, ultimately leading to Tony's arrest and acquittal by reason of insanity.
