ATM: Er Rak Error (retitled later to ATM) is a 2012 Thai language romantic comedy film that became one of Thailand's all-time top-grossing films shortly after its release.
Synopsis
In a bank that forbids fraternization lest one person in the couple be forced out, Sua (Chantavit Dhanasevi) and Jib (Preechaya Pongthananikorn) have nevertheless been discreetly dating for 5 years. Frustrated with having to keep their relationship hidden, Sua and Jib decide to get married. However, both Sua and Jib are career-bound overachievers, and neither are willing to resign and put marriage before career. Then one of the bank's automated teller machines malfunctions, causing it to give out double the amount of cash requested by each user, and word spreads through the city. Suer and Jib then mutually agree to enter a competition in which whoever recovers the lost money first can keep their job, but the other must quit. Both go to extreme lengths to be victorious.
