The Million Dollar Bet
Las Vegas in winter. After a night of heavy drinking, poker players Hank and Jack make a bet: the unathletic Hank vows to run 120 kilometers within the next 24 hours. The wager? One million US dollars! What begins as a game soon turns into an existential confrontation about life and death, friendship and money.
In Las Vegas, where odds are recalculated every day, the limits of what’s possible seem endless. Hank and Jack, seasoned gamblers, know this game all too well. But when Hank decides to run a triple marathon in 24 hours, things get serious: suddenly, a million-dollar bet stands between the two friends—a challenge that pushes not only their physical limits, but also their friendship to the breaking point.
Based on a true story and directed by Carinthian filmmaker Thomas Woschitz, The Million Dollar Bet unfolds as a gripping independent gem that tackles universal questions about risk, ambition, and the price we pay for our dreams. In a city where anything is possible, the film asks: how far can one really go?
