| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Inspired by the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at the
Lloyds Bank in Marylebone London, Lionsgate's THE BANK JOB
stars Jason Statham (TRANSPORTER, SNATCH, CRANK, THE ITALIAN
JOB) and Saffron Burrows (KLIMT, ENIGMA). 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 (Jason
Statham) has always avoided major-league scams. But when Martine
(Saffron Burrows), a beautiful model from his old neighborhood,
offers him a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London's Baker
Street, Terry recognizes the opportunity of a lifetime. Martine
targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in
cash and jewelry.
But Terry and his crew don't realize 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.
