The Great Train Robbery

From the acclaimed writer of the hit series Broadchurch comes a four-part mini-series chronicling the true story of the infamous 1963 train robbery that stunned Britain. Part one and two, A Robber’s Tale, is a classic heist film filled with wit, suspense and action. Bruce Reynolds (Luke Evans, The Hobbit) leads a team of mid-level criminals and a corrupt solicitor to pull off a major theft that baffles and frustrates the police but thrills the general public. This is the story of how one group of criminals became the most wanted men in Britain. They got lucky… and that bit of luck would destroy their lives forever. Part three and four of the drama, A Copper’s Tale, details one of the biggest investigations of the post-war period. It is told from the perspective of Tommy Butler (Academy Award-winner Jim Broadbent) and his elite team of brilliant, idiosyncratic investigators. In a race against time, can the team identify every criminal involved in the Great Train Robbery and put them behind bars before they flee the country? And even if they manage to catch the criminals, where’s the money?
