Two feature length films telling the story of the crime of the 20th century as never before. 8 August 1963: Britain wakes up to news of the biggest robbery in the country’s history. A train has been hijacked and robbed, 35 miles from its arrival in central London. The country is stunned: who could be behind it? How did they pull off such an audacious raid? 1 - A Robber’s Tale: Told from the perspective of the perpetrators this is the story of how one group of criminals became the most wanted men in Britain. They got lucky. And that piece of luck would destroy their lives forever. 2 - A Copper’s Tale: Told from the perspective of Tommy Butler and his elite team of brilliant, idiosyncratic investigators. In a race against time, can they 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 - what’s happened to the money itself?
