"The Great Train Robbery: Caught by a Game of Monopoly"

Описание: In under thirty minutes, fifteen men stole £2.6 million from a moving train — the largest cash robbery in British history at the time. They had planned everything: the fake signal, the escape route, the isolated hideout.

But back at their farmhouse, while waiting to divide the stolen cash, the gang did something they never expected to matter — they played a game of Monopoly.

This documentary covers the complete story of the Great Train Robbery of 1963 — how the heist was executed, how a single instruction to postal workers gave investigators their first clue, how a forgotten board game and a ketchup bottle led to fingerprints that identified the gang, and how Ronnie Biggs spent 36 years as a fugitive before finally returning to face justice.
