I Got Bombed at Harvey's (SXSW)

I Got Bombed at Harvey's is a gripping documentary-drama about one of America's most audacious crimes. In 1980, a bomb containing 1,000 pounds of dynamite was wheeled into Harvey's Wagon Wheel Casino in Lake Tahoe, accompanied by a $3 million extortion demand. This film follows the intense 24-hour standoff as the bomb squad races to disarm the explosive while the FBI works to deliver the ransom and catch the perpetrators—all while nothing goes according to plan.

Directed by Amy Bandlien Storkel and Bryan Storkel, this world premiere combines real events with dramatic storytelling, featuring a talented cast and crew including cinematographer Britton Foster and composer Michael James Lee. The film explores the darker secrets and suspicious motives that emerged during this pivotal moment in criminal history.
