An apparently simple plan to rob a bank ends up turning into a tense hostage situation, attracting the attention of the media. Based on real events, Al Pacino masterfully plays Sonny, the inexperienced and desperate robber who enlists the help of his accomplice (John Cazale) to get the money he needs for gender reassignment surgery for the person he loves. Considered one of the best "heist films" and winner of the Oscar for Best Screenplay, Dog Day Afternoon challenges stereotypes and prejudices of gender and identity, presenting itself as a critique of the system, authority and police violence.
