Examples of media works focused on robberies include: === In film === * ''[[The Killing (film)|The Killing]]'' (1956), by [[Stanley Kubrick]], depicts a graphic robbery. * ''[[Wake Up and Die]]'' (1966) is an Italian crime drama film directed by [[Carlo Lizzani]], based on the real life of [[Luciano Lutring]] ("''il solista del mitra''", translation: "the submachine soloist"), who kept his weapon in a violin case.<ref name=bio>{{cite news|last=Piero Colaprico|title=Milano, Γ¨ morto Luciano Lutring: lo chiamavano 'il solista del mitra'|url=http://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2013/05/13/news/milano_morto_luciano_lutring_lo_chiamavano_il_solista_del_mitra_-58674865/?ref=HREC1-5|access-date=13 May 2013|newspaper=[[La Repubblica]]|date=13 May 2013|archive-date=6 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006081134/http://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2013/05/13/news/milano_morto_luciano_lutring_lo_chiamavano_il_solista_del_mitra_-58674865/?ref=HREC1-5|url-status=live}}</ref> * ''[[Take the Money and Run (film)|Take the Money and Run]]'' (1969), by [[Woody Allen]], depicts an unconventional view of a robbery by an incompetent robber. * ''Le Gitan'' (1975), directed by [[JosΓ© Giovanni]], is loosely based on Luciano Lutring's autobiography.
