Core May Helm True Story Of Youngstown Boys

Ericson Core will direct the indie action drama "Youngstown Boys" reports Variety.



The true story centers on the bigggest bank heist in U.S. history that occurred in Laguna Beach, California in 1972.

A gang of thieves from Ohio set out to steal $30 million in illegal campaign contributions and blackmail money from President Richard M. Nixon


The thieves however went to the wrong bank, hitting a United California Bank instead of Nixon's home Bank of America branch. Making off with an estimated $12 million, seven of the eight conspirators were quickly caught but the getaway driver was able to flee and wasn't arrested until 1980.

Ken Hixon ("Welcome to the Rileys, City by the Sea") wrote the most recent version of the script while Anthony Mastromauro will produce.
