The Great Train Robbery

ActionAdventureCrimeDramaFamilyThriller110 min

In Victorian England, Sean Connery is a master thief assembling an elaborate plan to steal a shipment of gold from a moving train. Donald Sutherland joins the scheme as a key accomplice, while Lesley-Anne Down is woven into the deceptions needed to get past locked strongboxes, railway security, and the rigid routines of the line itself. Drawn from a notorious 19th-century case, the film builds its robbery around disguises, timing, and social maneuvering as much as brute force, with polished manners and crowded stations framing a very public crime.
