  • Luke Evans Jim Broadbent Martin Compston and James Fox
    LUKE EVANS JIM BROADBENT MARTIN COMPSTON AND JAMES FOX FROM THE WRITER AND DIRECTOR OF ‘BROADCHURCH’ Drama Mini-Series: 2 x 90 minutes From the acclaimed writer of the hit series Broadchurch come two ninety-minute films chronicling the true story of the 1963 Great Train Robbery. On 8 August, 1963 Britain awakens to the news of the biggest robbery in the country’s history. The hijacking of a train 35 miles from its arrival in central London leaves the country stunned and wanting to know who did it -- and how they managed to pull off such an audacious raid. The first of this two part, character-driven period drama is told with a sense of fun, swagger and cinematic scale. A Robber’s Tale is a classic heist movie filled with memorable set pieces, wit, suspense, action and a joyous sense of period. Bruce Reynolds (Luke Evans, Robin Hood), leading a team of mid-level criminals and a corrupt solicitor, pulls off a major theft that, in its day, baffled and frustrated the police but thrilled the general public. This is the story of how one group of criminals became the most wanted men in Britain. They got lucky… and that bit of luck would destroy their lives forever. Part two of the drama, A Copper’s Tale, details one of the biggest investigations of the post-war period, conducted in the full glare of public and media scrutiny. A Copper’s Tale is told from the perspective of Tommy Butler (Academy Award-winner Jim Broadbent) and his elite team of brilliant, idiosyncratic investigators, all of whom have very different methods and opinions.
