Dog Day Afternoon
Based upon a real-life story that happened in the early seventies in
which the Chase Manhattan Bank in Flatbush, Brooklyn, was held siege by a
gay bank robber determined to steal enough money for his male lover to
undergo a sex change operation. On a hot summer afternoon, the First
Savings Bank of Brooklyn is held up by Sonny and Sal, two down-and-out
characters. Although the bank manager and female tellers agree not to
interfere with the robbery, Sonny finds that there's actually nothing
much to steal, as most of the cash has been picked up for the day. Sonny
then gets an unexpected phone call from Police Captain Moretti, who
tells him the place is surrounded by the city's entire police force.
Having few options under the circumstances, Sonny nervously bargains
with Moretti, demanding safe escort to the airport and a plane out of
the country in return for the bank employees' safety.
