Synopsis

In this classic crime film, small-time crook Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) organizes a motley group of thieves to steal four million worth of gold bullion from an armoured car in Turin, Italy. The mastermind of the heist is Mr. Bridger (Noel Coward), an experienced convict who has come up with the idea, but can't take part in its execution because he's in jail. To pull off the plan, the gang must tie up traffic in the center of the city to divert attention from the robbery, and ultimately make off with their booty undetected. The caper leads to one of the most exciting automobile chases ever filmed.

Simply brilliant and a genius film. Forget the stupid remake that Hollywood churned out, watch this instead as it will showcase why this film is better than the remake…and always will be. First is Michael Caine as he is simply cool in this film with his quirky catchphrases. My favourite scene will always involve telling his teammate that he was only suppose to blow the ‘bloody’ doors off when an explosion test went wrong. Second thing is the use of the Minis, the vehicles they use for the Italian robbery. When you see these cars in action, it will make you want one, guaranteed. The plot twist in the end is funny and exciting. It is simply the perfect way to end the film which is a joy to watch and will leave it up to the audiences whether or not they escaped. Add the soundtrack and top performances from the rest of the cast, you simply can’t go wrong with this British classic.
