Event Details
Directed by Oscar-winner Sidney Lumet (Serpico), this gripping crime thriller follows two desperate brothers—ambitious Andy (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and struggling Hank (Ethan Hawke)—who plot to rob their own parents' jewelry store. When the heist goes catastrophically wrong, it sets off a chain of betrayal, guilt, and unraveling lives. Also starring Marisa Tomei and Albert Finney, the film peels back layers of family dysfunction with relentless intensity and tragic precision.
