Sinossi

Set in Athens on New Year’s Eve 1999, LAST CALL unfolds in real time as a desperate fugitive takes a family hostage inside a downtown apartment while armed with a live grenade. Surrounded by police and with tensions escalating by the minute, he issues a single demand: to speak live on air with an inexperienced young TV journalist. When a powerful news executive forces the call to go live, a deadly negotiation begins to play out in front of the entire nation. Inside, the hostages fight to stay alive as the fugitive’s weakened grip on the grenade threatens to go off at any moment. Outside, police and media clash over how to handle the crisis — with authorities debating a raid and broadcasters turning the siege into live spectacle. As the standoff plays out in real time on national television, the situation becomes a battleground of agendas, egos, and escalating risks. Inspired by true events, LAST CALL is a gripping, high-concept real-time thriller that blends escalating suspense with sharp social commentary, examining the dangerous interplay between media, power, and responsibility when the stakes are life and death.
