About
In 1972 Brooklyn, first-time crook Sonny and Sal attempt a bank robbery that turns into a hostage standoff with police.
On 22 August 1972 in Brooklyn, first-time crook Sonny Wortzik (Al Pacino) and his friend Sal Naturile (John Cazale) try to rob the First Brooklyn Savings Bank. Their plan goes wrong when their companion Stevie loses his nerve and leaves. Sonny finds that they arrived after the daily cash pickup, so only $1,100 remains in the bank. He burns the register in a trash can; when smoke draws suspicion outside, police surround the building. Sonny and Sal take the bank employees hostage. Detective Sergeant Eugene Moretti (Charles Durning) calls the bank and eventually speaks with Sonny outside, where Sonny's shout of Attica draws cheers from the crowd.
