When Elias was young, it seemed he had the potential to become whoever he wanted to be. A brilliant mind, a loving husband, and a caring father of two boys. But one day, he holds four journalists hostage. Why? Elias demands that they expose the crimes committed by bank officials and a Supreme Court judge: They have destroyed his reputation, stolen everything his family owned, and caused his father's suicide. When hundreds of similar stories of other families in despair start to unravel, Elias' claims are proven true. And to remedy the wrong they caused, Elias steals 2.2 billion from the State Treasury. Now, he is on the run from the law. But the robbery was only the first step in his plan. It's time to take the next step.—Beta Film
