The morning of February 8, 1977. Anthony G. “Tony” Kiritsis, 44, (played by Bill Skarsgård) entered the office of Richard O. Hall, president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage.

The weapon of choice? A sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun wired with a “dead man’s wire” from the trigger to the Hall’s head.

Directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, My Own Private Idaho), this 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.”

Presented with Glasgow Film Festival 2026 on Tour.
