CAST: Jason Statham (TRANSPORTER, SNATCH, CRANK, THE ITALIAN JOB) Saffron Burrows (REIGN OVER ME, DEEP BLUE SEA, ENIGMA)

Directed by Roger Donaldson (THE WORLD'S FASTEST INDIAN, THE RECRUIT, THIRTEEN DAYS)

SYNOPSIS: Inspired by the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at the Lloyds Bank in Marylebone London, THE BANK JOB stars Jason Statham and Saffron Burrows. The highly-charged heist thriller tautly interweaves high-level corruption, murder and sexual scandal in 1970s England.

A car dealer with a dodgy past and new family, Terry (Statham) has always avoided major-league scams. But when Martine (Burrows), a beautiful model from his old neighbourhood, offers him a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London's Baker Street, Terry recognises the opportunity of a lifetime. Martine targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewellery. But Terry and his crew don't realise the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London's criminal underworld, the highest echelons of the British government, and the Royal Family itself...the true story of a heist gone wrong...in all the right ways.

ONLY AT THE MOVES FROM JULY 31

He's been in a load of rubbish...the movie Snatch being the exception.
