Bang WikiData IMDb TMDB
A young woman in L.A. is having a bad day: she's evicted, an audition ends with a producer furious she won't trade sex for the part, and a policeman nabs her for something she didn't do, demanding fellatio to release her. She snaps, grabs his gun, takes his uniform, and leaves him cuffed to a tree where he's soon having a defenseless chat with a homeless man. She takes off on the cop's motorcycle and, for an afternoon, experiences a cop's life. She talks a young man out of suicide and then is plunged into violence after a friendly encounter with two "vatos." She is torn between self-protection and others' expectations. Is there any resolution for her torrent of feelings?

Two teens (Cameron Van Hoy, Mischa Barton) impulsively decide to rob a bank, ala Bonnie & Clyde. Quickly they find themselves in over their heads as they are forced to take a bankful of hostages and the FBI are at the door. Hostages include a heroin addicted Gulf War vet (Adam Farrar), the pesky bank manager (David Alan Graf), a gruff old man (David Metzger), a calm bank employee (James Gordon), and a helpful young woman (Darling Narita). The head FBI man (Burt Reynolds) must sort through the psychology of all the participants to try to keep the events from escalating. Underlying in all of this is the pure adolescence of the two who initiate the trouble. Written by John Sacksteder {jsackste@bellsouth.net}
