Dead Man's Wire Movie Trailer His revolution was televised. Meet Tony Kiritsis in the official trailer for Gus Van Sant’s 'Dead Man's Wire,' starring Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Colman Domingo, Cary Elwes, Myha'la, and Al Pacino. Only in Theaters January 2026.

Based on a true story, the 1977 kidnapping of a prominent banker grips the nation and turns the abductor into an outlaw folk hero. As the media frenzy peaks, the standoff becomes a spectacle of desperation, defiance and blurred justice, which resonates even today.

The screenwriting debut of Austin Kolodney, Dead Man’s Wire features commanding performances from its ensemble cast: Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Colman Domingo, Cary Elwes, Myha’la and Al Pacino. An equally impressive ensemble behind the camera includes cinematographer Arnaud Potier, production designer Stefan Dechant, composer Danny Elfman, costume designer Peggy Schnitzer, make-up department head Debbie Zoller, hair department head Vito Trotta, sound team Leslie Shatz and Derek Sepe and film editor Saar Klein.
