The Heist of the Century (2020)
Movie
Released
The true story is so absurd it barely needed embellishing. In January 2006 a gang held up the Banco Río branch in Acassuso with replica weapons, took hostages and emptied safe deposit boxes, and Ariel Winograd turns their planning into a caper comedy with Diego Peretti as the dreamy mastermind and Guillermo Francella as the suave robber who does the talking with the police.
It plays like an Argentine Ocean's Eleven, warmer and scruffier, with the gang bickering over every detail. Argentine audiences flocked to it, and it is the most purely fun film on this list. Read nothing about the real case first; the way the robbers leave the bank is the best joke in the movie.
