In the film The Great Train Robbery, which is presented in two parts, the story begins on November 27, 1962. A man is seen sitting in the back of a car, reading a newspaper while a plane flies overhead. Three men in black suits and bowler hats, carrying umbrellas, enter a building and make their way to the gentlemen's restroom, where they find two other similarly dressed men. All five men appear suspicious as they glance around, and when the moment is right, they leave the restroom together. This sets the stage for the notorious train heist, during which they plan to steal over 2.6 million pounds.
