On February 8, 1977, Tony Kiritsis, entered the office of Richard Hall and took him hostage with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun wired with a "dead man's wire" from the trigger to the Hall's head. This is the true story of the stand-off that took the world by storm as Tony demanded $5 million, no charges or prosecution, and a personal apology from the Halls for cheating him out of what he was "owed."
