Daylight Robbery

Daylight Robbery is a 2008 British crime film, directed by Paris Leonti and starring Paul Nicholls and Geoff Bell. Plot Alex masterminds an ambitious plan to steal millions of pounds in untraceable, used banknotes which are stacked in the underground vaults of the London Exchange Bank, where they await incineration. Lucky, Matty, Terry, Chubby, Norman and Jay make up his unlikely gang of robbers. They initially set up an alibi, by checking in for a flight to join thousands of England supporters in a mass exodus to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. Then, instead of passing through to the departure lounge, the gang head out to the car park, pile into a van and drive to Central London, where they ram the doors of the London Exchange Bank, blocking any exit for those caught up inside. The plan involves escaping through the tunnel they have already dug under the bank to funnel out the cash, within a couple of hours, to allow time to catch their flight to Germany. As part of the plan, they have posted an accomplice among the hostages; he will later patch up their exit point from the bank and himself escape among the freed hostages, after the police move in. The plan starts to unravel as soon as they break in:Chubby sustains a serious leg injury on being thrown through the back window of the van while Norman is reversing the van through the bank's front doors. Chubby passes out soon thereafter from blood loss, forcing the gang to communicate with the police camped outside and to allow a doctor into the crime scene, to attend to the injured man.
