The Great Train Robbery

In August 1963, 15 men tamper with train signals and stop the Glasgow to London mail train, stealing £2.6 million without firing a shot. Thirteen suspects of the Great Train Robbery are arrested and imprisoned. Three escaped jail and become folk heroes, one of whom got his life made into a movie starring Phil Collins. The lost money is never recovered.
