"Dazzling, classy, marvellous. It takes your breath away!"

All aboard for runaway action and suspense in this riveting masterpiece from writer/director Michael Crichton! Starring Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland and Lesley-Anne Down, it`s a spine-tingling and suavely performed adventure, based on history`s first train robbery. Filmed by Academy Award-winning cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth, this ingenious and wonderful crime caper delivers mile-a-minute thrills and breathtaking excitement.
Connery is Edward Pierce, a master thief who conceives a brilliant plan to steal a fortune in gold bars from a railroad payroll car. But to pull off the most daring heist in history, Pierce must join forces with a safecracker (Sutherland) and his own beautiful girlfriend (Down) in a series of intricately-plotted thefts that will test all of their nerve, camaraderie and larcenous skill.
well after the many cut showings on itv I was thrilled to buy a copy of this movie.written by the writer of jurassic park and the director of westworld this is a great crime caper.sean connery and donald sutherland are a good pair of rogues.lesley anne down is lovely as there female accomplice and its still strange to see wayne sleep as a cockney grass.the picture is better than tv prints.but its the sound during the train robbery that truly stands out the whooshing while train enters tunnel is brilliant.
