Based on a true story, Stander follows the life of Andre Stander, a South African police officer turned bank robber. Frustrated with the unjust system of apartheid, Stander begins a double life as he embarks on a series of daring heists. The film delves into Stander's inner conflict, the adrenaline-fueled thrill of the robberies, and the cat-and-mouse game with law enforcement.

With a backdrop of social unrest in 1970s South Africa, Stander blurs the lines between hero and villain, justice and crime, in a gripping tale of rebellion and redemption.
