Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

A bank robbery gone wrong turns into a panicked and sweaty hostage situation in this Lumet classic, Dog Day Afternoon (1975). Al Pacino puts in an all-time great performance as the high-strung, charasmatic, and a little unhinged bank robber, Sonny Wortzik, as he fumbles the robbery but attempts to make a clean escape by negotiating with the NYPD. Based on a true story, this one location spectacle is a directing masterclass with incredible performances by Pacino and John Cazale. Join, Cameron, Isaac, and Juzo as they delve into this true classic.
