SUPERTHIEF Documentary comes to the Atlas
One of the true gems of our neighborhood is the Lakeshore Atlas Cinema. Not only does it have an amazing sound system, it has one of the biggest screens in Northeast Ohio. Coming to the Cinema on Friday, April 6th is an exclusive showing of the documentary SUPERTHIEF which takes place in Collinwood.
The following is from the Cleveland International Film Festival's description: If a Bank Burglar Hall of Fame is ever built, it has to be placed in Collinwood, OH.The Cleveland neighborhood is home to some of the U.S.'s most prolific and daring bank robbers of all time—the most famous of whom is Phil Christopher, who pulled off a bank job in Laguna Niguel, California for a record-setting $30 million in 1972. SUPERTHIEF is a documentary about the men who put together one of the most enterprising and remarkable bank burglaries of all time, as well as the men tasked with bringing the crooks to justice. Including interviews with Christopher, his accomplices, and the local law and federal enforcement agents, this uncompromising film is an in-depth look into what went into the crime, and how the criminals were caught. After spending nearly 30 years in prison for his crimes, Christopher now tells, in great detail, about what led him to a life of crime. A real-life story of a modern-day, Cleveland-bred James Gang, SUPERTHIEF takes you inside the minds of a group of men who made a living by living on the edge of the law.
Friday April 6th, at 6:30 pm, "Superthief" author, Rick Porrello will be signing copies of his book and answering questions at the theater.
