THEIR FUTURES WERE STOLEN BY THE BANKS. NOW THEY’RE STEALING THEM BACK! Having fallen foul of the pension crisis after 50 years of law-abiding, tax-paying citizenship, retired couple Martha (Virginia McKenna) and Arthur (Bernard Hill) are forced into an unexpected life of crime in this star-studded British comedy heist caper. Martha and Arthur refuse to accept this rip-off. The plan is simple – the financial industry has stolen their hard-earned pensions, so they’re going to steal them back, at the same time helping friends who are down-on their-luck, and saving their social club from destruction. Towing their Caravan behind their trusty Rover, they map out a crime route around England - that just happens to take in a host of beautiful old stately homes along the way. As they bumble their way through a succession of bank robberies, dressed in masks and armed with cucumbers as guns, this unlikely criminal duo feel a new surge of life running through their veins as the cash piles in! But, with the police hot on their tails, and the auction of their beloved club looming, our grey-haired heroes persuade their closest friends to join them in an attempt to pull off the heist of the century!
