The Soviet Heist

In 1977 Soviet Armenia, two brothers, Nikolay and Felix Kalachyan, pulled off the most daring bank heist in USSR history, stealing 1.5 million rubles from the State Bank in Yerevan using nothing but a children's umbrella. Swift and calculated, they couldn't escape the long arm of the Soviet state. The KGB closed in, the trial was secret, and the sentence was death. A true story buried for decades, until the Soviet Union itself ceased to exist.

Mob Town

Based on the true story of the notorious 1957 ‘mob summit’ in upstate New York. Spearheaded by Vito Genovese, more than 50 leaders of the organized crime syndicates from around the country converged on the sleepy town to discuss upcoming expansion plans. Their plans are foiled when local police trooper Ed Croswell discovers their activities and, consequently, exposes the mob to the American public. Croswell’s actions shed light on the massive web of corruption and changed the face of law enforcement forever.
