Plot synopsis:
“The morning of February 8, 1977, Anthony G. ‘Tony’ Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgård), 44, entered the office of Richard O. Hall, president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun wired with a ‘dead man’s wire’ from the trigger to the Hall’s head. This is the true story of the stand-off that took the world by storm as Tony demanded $5 million, no charges & no prosecution, and a personal apology from the Halls for cheating him out of what he was ‘owed’. ”

“I want a written agreement, I want my debt forgiven, I want an apology, and I want to walk out of here a free man” (Anthony G. ‘Tony’ Kiritsis)
