A movie set at a downtown post office turned all too real for a group of high school filmmakers. Members of the high school Spanish club were shooting a movie when the police showed up believing a hostage crisis was going on inside the post office.

Police cordoned off the block, cleared nearby buildings and surrounded the post office ready for a hostage crisis. When a group of students left the post office, they were ordered to get on the ground, face down.

Postmaster Ron Steedley had given permission for the school group to use the post office on Thursday night after hours to make their movie, "Rolling Thunder." Steedley said he didn't think the student's movie would frighten anyone.

Devon Menendez, the film's director, said his film career is over.
