Vibrant recreation of the perfect robbery at Banco Rio that took place in the Argentinian town of Acassuso on Friday, January 13, 2006. Relying on an exceptional cast (Guillermo Francella, Diego Peretti, Pablo Rago, Luis Luque), the director Ariel Winograd (“No Kids”) meticulously reconstructs the preparations, the development, and the consequences of a holdup that is considered the most famous and brilliant of all time in that South American country. High-quality film noir that has nothing to envy the great Hollywood productions of the genre.
Yes, this is the story of a real bank robbery. In 2006, a group of thieves carried out what is considered one of the most infamous and complex bank heists in Argentina’s history. How they robbed the Rio bank is just as surprising as what happened afterwards.
