Plot

A true crime movie about a crew of retired crooks who pull off a major heist in London's jewelry district. What starts off as their last criminal hurrah, quickly turns into a brutal nightmare due to greed.

Based on infamous true events, a famous thief, Brian Reader (Sir Michael Caine), pulls together a band of misfit criminals to plot the biggest bank heist in British history. The thieves manage to escape with allegedly over two hundred million British pounds worth of stolen jewels and money. When Police are called to the scene and the investigation starts, the cracks between the eccentric gang members begin to show as they row over how to share the goods and become increasingly distrustful of each other.—Saban Films

Brian Reader, a notorious thief in his youth and now a feisty but bored septuagenarian, is toying with the idea of ending his criminal career with a bang. With this in mind, Brian has assembled a hand-picked team of experienced, old-school thieves--all in their 60s and 70s--to pull off an impossible heist worth £14 million in jewellery and cash over Easter. However, who would have imagined that there is no such thing as honour among thieves?—Nick Riganas
