Plot Summary

Fate, the pensions crisis and a steadfast refusal to accept the injustice of old age have contrived to force law abiding, retired couple, Arthur and Martha Goode into a life of crime. Refusing to take the loss of their pensions lying down and to fade away into their declining years, our characters decide to fight back. They decide to take back what was theirs in the first place. They decide to start robbing banks. Written by JM

Trivia The Sodbury bank where the final robbery takes place (named after villages north of Bristol called Chipping Sodbury and Old Sodbury) is the old Bank of England and Norwich Union building that has been disused since the 1980s on the corner of High Street and Bridge Street (Castle Park) in central Bristol. All of the exteriors and interiors (including the original vaults) are used in the film with minimal re-dressing. See more »
Goofs During the slow-motion shot of the robbers in the final bank robbery scene a blue rubber glove covering a smoke alarm can be seen on the ceiling. See more »
