Fool's Gold - The Story of the Brink's-Mat Robbery
Wearing his trademark bowler hat and squeaky boots, Cribb tracks his prey amidst such Victorian pastimes as bare-fisted fighting, spiritualism in the drawing rooms of high society, nude midnight swims in the Thames and bizarre marathon "wobbles" or walking contests. Filled with lavish period detail and jaw-dropping plot twists, the adventures of Sergeant Cribb reveal the dark underbelly of Victorian life. Mickey McAvoy (Bean) is a vicious, small-time crook out to make a name for himself in the London underworld. He and his gang have mapped out the ‘perfect crime’, one that will elevate their status among violent criminals everywhere.  However, a shocking discovery during the job causes loyalties to shift within the group ... and allows the cops to put unbearable heat on someone who can bring the whole operation crashing down.
