In Victorian England, a master criminal makes elaborate plans to steal a shipment of gold from a moving train.
Victorian era precision meets audacious criminality as a brilliant mastermind orchestrates a complex heist against a speeding locomotive. This period caper trades modern explosions for the clever, mechanical tension of a perfectly timed gold robbery.
