	Movies - The Great Train Robbery

The First Great Train Robbery is a 1979 film directed by Michael Crichton and based on his novel The Great Train Robbery. In the U.S the film was also known as The Great Train Robbery.

The film starred Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland and Lesley-Anne Down. The story is loosely based on the Great Gold Robbery of 1855, in which William Pierce engineered the theft of a train-load of gold being shipped to the British Army during the Crimean War. The film features many picturesque characters and scenes of the Victorian era, particularly the criminal mobs of the time. Although set in London and Kent, most of the filming took place in Ireland.
