The elaborate scheme included an escape via sewage tunnels and pizza delivery.

In 2006, an army of police officers surrounded the Banco Rio in Acassuso, Argentina, and negotiated for hours with a bold group of robbers inside.

Posing as an architecture student, he called the public works agency in Acassuso to get information on how the ground might handle tunnels. Then he convinced Sebastián García Bolster, a local motorcycle mechanic to join his team as a civil engineer. The crew bought an old van and customized it to have a floor hatch so they could park it above a manhole and climb directly into the vehicle without ever going out onto the street. They recruited a man named Julián Zalloecheverría to be their driver and someone called “the kid” to serve as extra muscle.At around 12:38 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 13, 2006, the team of robbers stormed in through the front door of the bank, guns in hand and ready to take hostages.

There, two small boats, one with a motor awaited them. But the motor wouldn’t start, so the men had to paddle through the sewer to reach their van 14 blocks away. Araujo laid sprawled out atop the loot in one of the boats to secure it.Police surrounded the bank during the heist. They negotiated with the robbers.“Right away, the first thing I wanted to do was turn on the TV and make sure they weren’t behind,” Araujo says in the film. “Here we were with the money so far away.

Beto demanded she bring back what she taken immediately and left the house with his remaining loot in a huff. Furious, di Tullo called the police and turned in her husband.
