The Bank Job is based on the true story of a robbery that took place in 1971 at a Lloyds Bank branch in London. The robbers tunnelled their way into the vault and stole millions of pounds in cash and valuables. It was later discovered that the robbery was connected to a high-profile sex scandal involving a member of the British Royal Family and a prominent London gangster.
