44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out (2003)


The most intense shoot-out in LAPD history

On 28 February 1997, two men heavily armed with AK-47 try to heist the Bank of America of North Hollywood, but their plan fails and they are kept under siege by the LAPD. Along forty-four minutes, Los Angeles witnesses live on television one of the greatest shoot-out of the American history.

Ramon: What is it?
Henry Jones: It's a bible, Ramon
Ramon: What do you want me to do with a bible?
Henry Jones: I want you to read it, Ramon
Ramon: Which part?
Henry Jones: Whatever part speaks to you.
