Dead Man's Wire

"Based on the true story of Tony Kiritsis, who in 1977 took Richard O. Hall, the president of a mortgage company, hostage with a sawed-off shotgun wired to his neck. Kiritsis was a desperate man who felt he had been swindled by the company and paraded the hostage through downtown Indianapolis to demand justice and an apology, a situation that was broadcast live on radio and television. The film explores themes of vigilante justice and systemic failure through this 1970s-style thriller."
