Dead Man’s Wire is an upcoming American crime thriller directed by Gus Van Sant.
Inspired by real events from the 1970s, the film dramatizes the tense standoff involving Tony Kiritsis, a man who held a mortgage broker hostage with a shotgun rigged to a device designed to fire if the captor released pressure.
As the ordeal unfolds, public perception, media spectacle, and personal grievances collide in a gripping crime thriller.
