All aboard for runaway action and suspense in this riveting masterpiece
from writer/director Michael Crichton. Sean 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.
A lively, humorous caper film of the first order, The Great
Train Robbery also boasts a vividly authentic recreation of mid-Victorian
England
