“Attica! Attica!” Sidney Lumet’s ultimate exercise in realism was based on a real-life, only-in-New York incident. Amateur criminal Sonny (Al Pacino) and his accomplice, Sal (John Cazale), find their planned bank robbery quickly spiraling beyond their control into a hostage situation and media frenzy. As day turns to night in Brooklyn, the unexpected motive for the theft becomes clear. The film received six Academy Award® nominations, winning for Best Original Screenplay.
