DEAD END

Dead End is a six-part crime drama based on true events. It tells the story of the hostage tragedy of August 1986 — the day that stopped all of Finland and forever changed police tactics. 

​

A masked man enters a bank carrying a shotgun and a bag of dynamite. But instead of demanding money, he orders the police and media to be called to the scene. Soon, an unprecedented hostage situation unfolds — one that tests nerves, values, and humanity on every front.
