Based on a remarkable true story, *Bandit* unfolds as a surprisingly whimsical and darkly humorous crime saga following a charismatic prison escapee who reinvents himself across Canada, becoming a prolific bank robber. Unlike typical heist films focused on meticulous planning, this narrative centers on the audacious charm and improvisational skill of its protagonist, whose brazen robberies are often punctuated by unexpected personal connections – including a budding romance and a complicated family life unfolding simultaneously. The film eschews glorification, instead presenting a portrait of a man grappling with a shifting identity and a peculiar blend of remorse and exhilaration, simultaneously evading a dedicated, yet perpetually baffled, task force. It’s a compelling exploration of how an individual can construct a new life built on deception, while being haunted by the consequences of past actions and the weight of a double life.
