Inspired by the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at the Lloyds Bank in Marylebone London “The Bank Job” stars Jason Statham (“Italian Job”) and Saffron Burrows (“Enigma”). The highly-charged heist thriller tautly interweaves high-level corruption, murder and sexual scandal in 1970s England. A car dealer with a dodgy past and new family, Terry (Statham) has always avoided major-league scams. But when Martine (Burrows), a beautiful model from his old neighborhood, offers him a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London’s Baker Street, Terry recognizes the opportunity of a lifetime. Martine targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew don’t realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London’s criminal underworld, the highest echelons of the British government, and the Royal Family itself…the true story of a heist gone wrong…in all the right ways. Directed by Roger Donaldson (“No Way Out” and “Thirteen Days”) and written by Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais (“Across the Universe” and “Flushed Away”).  “The Bank Job” opens nationwide on Friday, March 7.
