Director: Sidney Lumet | Runtime: 125 mins | Cast: Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning
On a sweltering Brooklyn afternoon in August 1972, first-time bank robber Sonny Wortzik (Al Pacino) and his muted accomplice Sal (John Cazale) walk into a neighborhood bank expecting a routine ten-minute cash grab. What happens next would be unbelievable if it wasn’t closely based on a true story.
As the summer heat rises, a bungled heist rapidly mutates into a live, sensationalized television spectacle. Powered by Pacino’s electric, improvisational energy and Sidney Lumet’s relentless real-time pacing, Dog Day Afternoon is one of the high-water marks of 1970s New Hollywood — a breathless pressure cooker that turns a bank robbery into a masterclass on media, authority, and human desperation.
Why We're Screening It: Bringing back Sidney Lumet following the unanimous reception for 12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon takes Lumet's signature single-location tension out into the chaotic heat of the Brooklyn streets. It is essential 70s cinema that demands to be experienced in a room full of people.
