About the film:

American Animals (2018) is a gripping docudrama that blurs the line between fact and fiction, recounting the true story of Spencer Reinhard and three fellow college students who attempted one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history. Motivated less by greed than by a restless desire for meaning and excitement, Reinhard, an art student fascinated by beauty and legacy, becomes entangled in a plan to steal rare books from Transylvania University’s special collections. Through reenactments interwoven with interviews from the real participants, the film explores youth, disillusionment, and the perilous allure of transforming ordinary lives into something extraordinary.

Written and directed by Bart Layton
