The Great Train Robbery (2013)

The Great Train Robbery was a two-part miniseries that aired on the BBC in 2013. Not to be confused with the 1978 Michael Crichton film of the same name, or the 1903 silent film of the same name, which is widely regarded as the very first narrative film, this one is based on the true story of a robbery that occurred on a train traveling from Glasgow to London in 1963 and netted the criminals more than 2 million pounds. Written by Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall, the miniseries is split into two parts: the crime itself and the investigation. First, we watch Bruce Reynolds (Luke Evans) mastermind of the whole plot, gather a fifteen-man gang to help him, train them for the train job, and finally rob the Royal Mail Train itself. In the second part, we follow Scotland Yard's finest, including DCS Tommy Butler (Jim Broadbent) starting the morning after the robbery as they begin their investigation, and eventually key in on Bruce himself. In real life, a few of the train robbers never got caught, while Bruce jet-setted around the world with his cash before they finally tracked him down!  Speaking of fellas we want to chase after, Luke Evans is always lovely to look at—or Luke at, as it were—and we get a fantastic scene where police bust into his home while he's naked! He manages to keep his best bits under wraps, but we do catch a brief glimpse of his glutes! Somebody call the police; I think that man just stole my heart! So many movies robbed us of the opportunity to see Luke's buns, but The Great Train Robbery sure didn't!
