Having successfully pulled off a daring jewel heist, Paul Clifton prepares to hit a mail train heading south from Glasgow. Several difficulties stand in his way, however, not the least of which is the police – who are hot on his tail and already in receipt of a tip-off about his next job.

Based on the planning and execution of criminal cause celebre The Great Train Robbery, this taut, meticulously researched drama stars Stanley Baker (Zulu, Accident) as a crime boss undertaking the heist of his career – with James Booth (Pray For Death), Frank Finlay (The Pianist) and Barry Foster (Frenzy) among the gang he assembles.

Co-produced by Baker and directed by multiple-Oscar-nominated Peter Yates (whose thrilling staging of the opening chase scene saw him selected by Steve McQueen as the man to direct Bullitt), Robbery is a classic of British Film – exceptionally scripted (winning a Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award for Best British Screenplay), beautifully acted and sporting a legendary score by composer-arranger Johnny Keating (Hotel, Innocent Bystanders).

Robbery will be released on UK Blu-ray and DVD on 31st August 2015 on Blu-ray at the RRP of £14.99, and DVD at the RRP £9.99, courtesy of Network’s ‘The British Film’ collection.
