Adapted from a true story, this is the most imperfect bank robbery in American history. The bank robbery crime that should have been completed in 10 minutes turned into a 12-hour tug-of-war. Sonny (played by Al Pacino) is the most unlucky bank robber in American history. On a midsummer afternoon, Sonny and his companion Saylor (played by John Cazale) broke into the Brooklyn Bank in New York City, preparing to carry out the robbery. However, the bank had just completed the transaction and there was no cash in the vault. The unlucky Sonny and Saylor took hostages instead and confronted the police to make demands. But 4 hours later, the robbery scene was made as lively as an amusement park by the onlookers and the flustered police. Sonny walked out of the bank and questioned the police, which actually won the applause of the crowd. 8 hours later, the bank robbery was broadcast live on TV, and everyone was as happy as if they were filming a movie. At this time, night fell, and the hostages also showed Stockholm syndrome. How will this farce end?
