What happens
The Bank Job is a 2008 heist thriller film directed by Roger Donaldson and written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. It is based on the 1971 burglary of Lloyds Bank safety deposit boxes in Baker Street. It stars Jason Statham. The producers allege that the story was prevented from being told in 1971 because of a D-Notice, to protect Princess Margaret, a prominent member of the British royal family. According to the producers, this film is intended to reveal the truth for the first time, although it apparently includes significant elements of fiction. The premiere was held in London on 18 February 2008, and it was released in the UK on 29 February 2008 and in the US on 7 March 2008. It received mostly positive reviews from critics and grossed $66 million worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
