Dead Man's Wire is a 2025 American crime thriller film directed by Gus Van Sant and written by Austin Kolodney, working with historical consultants Alan Berry and Mark Enochs, who together made the 2018 documentary Dead Man's Line examining the same events. The film is inspired by the 1977 hostage standoff involving Tony Kiritsis.[6] It stars Bill Skarsgård as Kiritsis, alongside an ensemble cast including Dacre Montgomery, Cary Elwes, Myha'la, Colman Domingo, and Al Pacino.
