A business dispute in 1977 escalates into one of the most notorious hostage situations in American history. Businessman Tony Kiritsis holds mortgage broker Richard Hall captive with a “dead man’s wire” around his neck, a deadly device that makes any police intervention impossible. As the media and authorities look on, the hostage situation turns into a public spectacle, with power, ego, and control at its center.
