The Bank Job (2008) Movie


The Bank Job is an upcoming March 2008 film based on a 1971 true life heist of a bank in Baker Street, London that resulted in no arrests and no money recovered. The story was prevented from ever being told because of a D-Notice government gagging order.[3] This movie is intended to reveal the truth for the first time ever.




Based on the true story of the 1971 Baker Street bank robbery which was prevented from being told for over thirty years because of a Government gagging order. The real story of how one of the biggest robberies in British history took place with no arrests ever made nor money ever recovered. Written by Mark Thomas

In September 1971, thieves tunneled into the vault of a bank in London's Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewelry worth over three million pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then disappeared - the result of a 'D' Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden for the first time. The story involves murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family - a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved.
