Lumet: Film Maker

Based upon true events, a New York man and two accomplices are
besieged in a bank with all the bank employees after his attempt to rob
enough money to pay for his male lover's sex change operation goes awry.
What results is a two day media circus in which his private life and the
humiliation of the police is laid bare for the whole city.
