Plata quemada (English: Burnt Money) (2000) is an Argentine film directed by Marcelo Piñeyro, and written by Piñeyro and Marcelo Figueras.
The film won, among other awards, the Goya Award for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film in 2001.
The picture stars Leonardo Sbaraglia, Eduardo Noriega, Pablo Echarri, Leticia Bredice, Ricardo Bartis, Héctor Alterio, and others. It is based on Ricardo Piglia's 1997 Planeta prize-winning novel of the same name (but translated into English as Money to Burn) that was inspired by a true story of a famous bank robbery in Buenos Aires in 1965. The film, a recreation of their now-legendary story, is an action thriller of the exploits and red-hot passion of two thugs.
The work was partly funded by INCAA.
