A very good movie (1979) made by Michael Crichton (later Jurassic Park) with Sean Connery (the best Bond) and Donald Sutherland. Sutherland and Connery wish to rob a shipment of gold from a moving train's safe in Victorian England. They need wax impressions of keys, coffins, dead cats, and a great deal of planning in order to pull it off. offers a peep into Victorian society with its strange sports, public hangings and high society rituals.
Possibly inspired by a very old 1903 american film just 12min long which involved a bullet being fired towards the camera for the first time. And also a real life incident of a £2.3 million train robbery committed on 8 August 1963 at Bridego Railway Bridge, Ledburn near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire, England. The bulk of the stolen money was not recovered. You can read about this incident at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Train_Robbery_of_1963
