About A Man Of Action
Loosely inspired by the life of Lucio Urtubia,A Man of Action explores the figure of the Spanish anarchist who pulled off a legendary counterfeiting operation in Paris that landed him in the crosshairs of America's biggest bank, when he managed to obtain a huge amount of money by forging traveller's cheques.
A Man of Action is a fast-paced film spanning five decades, from the 1940s to the 1980s, in which we follow in Lucio's footsteps, from his humble beginnings as a bricklayer-turned-bank robber, to taking the lead in bringing down one of the world’s biggest banks.
