Plot Synopsis

Based on the real events of the 1981 Spanish coup attempt that began at the Congress of Deputies, BANK UNDER SIEGE is a five-episode drama series that picks up the story in Barcelona on May 23, 1981 -- exactly three months after the attempted coup d'etat, when 11 hooded men now enter the headquarters of the Central Bank in Barcelona. What starts as a spectacular robbery soon becomes a real challenge to Spain's recent democracy. The robbers hold more than 200 hostages in the bank and threaten to kill them if the government does not agree to free Colonel Tejero and three others in charge of the 23F. All five episodes of BANK UNDER SIEGE dropped on Friday, November 8, 2024 on Netflix.
