The Bank Job (2008)

Inspired by the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at the Lloyds Bank in Marylebone London, Lionsgate's ® 'The Bank Job' stars Jason Statham ('Transporter,' 'Snatch,' 'Crank,' 'The Italian Job') and Saffron Burrows ('Klimt,' 'Enigma'). The highly-charged heist thriller tautly interweaves high-level corruption, murder and sexual scandal in 1970s England.

Martine targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew don't realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London's criminal underworld, the highest echelons of the British government, and the Royal Family itself...the true story of a heist gone wrong...in all the right ways.
