Bank Robbery Weekend: Dog Day Afternoon15
When a Brooklyn bank robbery goes wrong, small-time crook Sonny Wortzik finds himself holding hostages and negotiating with police, as a crowd and live TV cameras gather outside. Based on a real 1972 robbery, the film captures the chaos and media frenzy that followed. Al Pacino leads Sidney Lumet’s tense, character-driven thriller, one of the defining films of 1970s American cinema.

Reviews
‘Pacino simmers in this daring and brilliantly constructed treatise on the many facets of a crime.’
★★★★★
Adam Smith, Empire Magazine
‘It’s beautifully acted by performers who appear to have grown up on the city’s sidewalks in the heat and hopelessness of an endless midsummer.’
Vincent Canby, The New York Times

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
