Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Made during Venezuela's 1994 banking crisis; the 'white glove' detail references actual middle-class protest robberies where thieves wore formal attire to distinguish themselves from 'criminals'.

Insight

Saderman based the screenplay on a real failed heist where robbers broke into a bank that had already been liquidated—the guards let them finish out of pity.
