At 3:45 a.m. on January 2, 1972, eight men begin their plan to rob the Pierre Hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in New York. Before they even arrive, they experience their first nerve-racking problem. It will be a sign of things to come, but they press on despite the close call. While most of the guests and resident are asleep, the robbers will gain control of the hotel and begin their work in the vault.
