The Great Train Robbery

Victorian rogue Edward Pierce (Sean Connery) crafts an ambitious plan to stage England's first hold-up of a moving train. To get to the 25,000 pounds of gold bars on board -- which are well-guarded by a complex key system -- Pierce enlists a bedmate (Lesley Anne Down), a safecracker (Donald Sutherland) and a tough guy (Wayne Sleep). Director Michael Crichton adapted the script from his novel by the same name, which is based on actual events.
