Stander (2003)

Stander (2003) is a compelling South African biographical crime drama directed by Bronwen Hughes, based on the real-life story of Captain André Stander — a Johannesburg police officer who becomes disillusioned with the system during apartheid and shockingly turns to bank robbery, sometimes even investigating his own heists before going on the run with a gang of accomplices. The film stars Thomas Jane in a memorable lead role alongside Dexter Fletcher and David O’Hara, blending action, drama and social context to tell one of South Africa’s most unusual true-crime tales.
