The Million Dollar Bet

Feature Film, AT/US 2024, DCP, 88 min, OmdU

They say anything is possible in Las Vegas. Gamblers Hank and Jack live by the Nevada credo to the full, and not only when it comes to poker. When Hank decides to run a triple marathon in twenty-four hours, a million-dollar bet suddenly stands between the two friends—an existential endurance test in more ways than one, physically and for their friendship. Director Thomas Woschitz stages a magnificently daring independent genre film that has universal relevance, based on a true story and as usual, told from various perspectives.
