The film is about a real incident happened in Brooklyn Bank in Aug 22, 1972. It is about a bank being robbed.

The movie shows about the importance of behavior. Even a person who is about to perform a crime, a robbery have good in behavior become a good person among hostage people and outside. Behavior reflects are half of the personality attracting most of the people.

As it is said “your beliefs don’t make u better person your behavior does”

Although Dog Day Afternoon was released nationally in 1975, it is based on events that took place in Brooklyn three years earlier, in 1972. During era of thick and extremely heavy opposition to the Vietnam war, “anti-establishment” sonny repeats the counter-culture war cry of “Attica!” in reference to the 1971 Attica Prison riots.
