Based on a true story, The Bank Job follows small-time criminal Terry Leather and his crew as they tunnel into a London bank vault in 1971, hoping for a straightforward payday. Instead, they discover safety deposit boxes containing explosive secrets tied to corrupt politicians, criminals, and the British royal family. What begins as a heist quickly becomes a dangerous game of survival against powerful forces desperate to keep their secrets buried.
Roger Donaldson's 1971 London tunnel robbery is the true story of a heist that exposed a royal blackmail. The plan worked; the consequences were what nobody could plan for.
