Indigestive red-head Heinz persuades blue-eyed hunk Christian to join himself and studly pal Luigi in order to rob a Munich bank. Things don't go exactly as planned and the heist turns into a hostage situation. "Bloody Friday" offers plenty of gratuitous violence, which must have been considerably more shocking in its day.
