The film is inspired by the 1977 hostage standoff involving Tony Kiritsis. It stars Bill Skarsgård as Kiritsis, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Dacre Montgomery, Cary Elwes, Myha'la, Colman Domingo, and Al Pacino. The film premiered out of competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on September 2, 2025, and was given a wide theatrical release on January 9, 2026, by Row K Entertainment. The film is inspired by the 1977 Indianapolis hostage standoff involving Tony Kiritsis and centers on the escalation of a public confrontation shaped by negotiation, media attention, and law enforcement response. The script was written in 2020 by Austin Kolodney. He was introduced to the true story via a podcast episode, and subsequently enlisted the help of documentarians Alan Berry and Mark Enochs (makers of the 2018 documentary Dead Man's Line on the events) to research and compile all the information of the events available. In March 2024, it was reported that the film was in development with Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage attached to direct and star in the film, respectively. By January 2025, Gus Van Sant was set to direct with Bill Skarsgård and Dacre Montgomery leading the cast. Talking about his decision to make the film, Van Sant said: "When I read the script, there were links embedded in it – you could click them and hear the real 911 calls. Tony talked so fast, like Scorsese on a cocaine bender, cracking jokes and losing his temper. I thought, 'This is an amazing character. The story had this weird barnstormer energy ... The producer said, 'We have to start shooting in Louisville in two months.' That was the most appealing thing – just hitting the road."Skarsgaard was someone Van Sant had wanted to work with for a long time, while Van Sant cast Montgomery off of his viral Stranger Things audition tape. #deadmanswire #billskarsgard #tonykiritsis #colmandomingo #rowk #rowkinvited #alpacino #carelwes #dacremontgomery #gusvansant #austinkolodney
