A Tale of Two Thieves

In 1963, in the bucolic English countryside, a gang of 15 men pulled off the legendary Great Train Robbery, stealing today's equivalent of $85 million, most of which was never recovered. The amazing documentary A TALE OF TWO THIEVES centers on Gordon Goody, one of the participants in the crime, who, more than 50 years after the event, has finally agreed to go fully on record and reveal all the unknown facts about that fateful night and his long life of crime. And in the film's greatest coup, he reveals at long last the identity of the missing mastermind behind Britain's most famous heist - the elusive and mysterious "Ulsterman," who walked away and disappeared into the ether with over 2.6 million pounds, or the equivalent at the time of $5 million. Director Chris Long (Gilmore Girls, The Mentalist) delves deeply into the legendary crime on the Glasgow-to-London train, detailing how the robbery was pulled off with no firearms but through careful planning and inside information. The heist has fascinated and confounded historians, criminologists, crime buffs and filmmakers for half a century, but now this film finally provides some answers
