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.
Based on the real 2006 Banco Río heist in Argentina, the film benefits from a genuinely extraordinary true-crime story with clever twists and an almost theatrical execution by the robbers. The plot is inherently compelling and well-structured, capturing both the audacity of the heist and its remarkable aftermath. The ending lands with satisfying irony given the real-world outcome. Acting is solid throughout without standout performances. Cinematography is competent and stylish for the genre but not visually distinctive. Novelty is moderate — while the true story is singular, the film's execution follows familiar heist-genre conventions, though the Argentine setting and real-case details give it some flavor.
