Gus Van Sant's new film, 'Dead Man's Wire,' dramatizes the 1977 Indianapolis hostage crisis where Tony Kiritsis held a mortgage company executive at gunpoint. The film, starring Bill Skarsgård, captures the righteous rage and inequality of the era, aligning with Kiritsis's perceived just cause despite his desperate actions. The movie is noted for its contemporary relevance and Skarsgård's performance, marking Van Sant's return to directing after a seven-year hiatus.
