About this movie

Deeply affected by the indiscriminate killing he witnesses as a white police officer in South Africa, Andre Stander (Thomas Jane) makes a decision to defy the very system he has spent a lifetime enforcing. Turning his back on the law, he masterminds a series of audacious bank robberies, and befriending outlaws Allan Heyl and Lee McCall goes on a cross-country robbing spree. Known only as the "Stander Gang", the three commit dozens of bankrobberies - heists that grow increasingly bolder over time. In the eyes of the public, the gang's disrespect for authority turns them into near-legendary folk heroes. To the South African government, however, the former police officer is a cause of embarrassment, and the Stander Gang quickly become the most wanted men in the country. Based on an incredible true story. © 2004 Newmarket Films LLC. All Rights Reserved.
