The Heist of the Century
The Story Of The Theft That Made History
Directed by Ariel Winograd
Produced by Viacom International Inc., Telefe
A clever, energetic heist comedy that balances the thrill of a daring bank robbery with humor and camaraderie among the thieves, grounded in a real historical event.
In 2006, a group of thieves performed what is considered one of the most famous and smart bank heists in the history of Argentina. How they robbed the Rio bank is as surprising as what happened afterwards. This is their story.
