The plot, about bank robbers held at bay by the Los Angeles Police Department, is based on an actual incident which occurred February 28, 1997 known as the North Hollywood shootout. It stars Michael Madsen as a homicide detective who is tracking a violent duo of bank robbers: Larry Eugene Phillips, Jr. (played by Andrew Bryniarski) and Emil Matasareanu (played by Oleg Taktarov).
The Bank of America building in the actual robbery was in North Hollywood, but the building used in the film was a vacant bank in a strip mall in La Habra, California. Scenes on the residential streets where the robbers fled were filmed on the actual locations.
