On the surface it's a seamless caper. A beautiful bank robbery staged by a
veteran expert and his two exuberant heirs-apparent. Eddie the cocky
leader,
and his cohort Ian dream of adventure, riches and fame, while legendary
thief
and safe cracker Maitland harbors more complicated motives. Nevertheless
the trio unites in an ingenious scheme. The plan is meticulous, the results
are disastrous. Dressed in Saville row suits and bowler hats, the criminals
confidently execute the heist, but an unexpected and unwelcome rival gang
compromises the robbery. A throng of Police and SWAT teams arrive. The
authorities led by a bungling Inspector Badger, stage a raid that goes horribly
wrong. A seige ensues and the would-be robbers become hostages,
unwillingly allied with this suspect crew of new colleagues and an enigmatic
woman named Jo. The assault continues outside the bank, under the
efficient supervision of Professor Corner and her mysterious Cyclops
agency, but the situation inside gets even more complicated...
