When an unexploded World War II bomb is uncovered in the heart of London, a military bomb disposal unit led by Will is called in to handle the threat. As authorities race against time, a massive evacuation clears thousands of residents from the surrounding area. But in the middle of the unfolding crisis, a group of men led by diamond specialist Karalis take advantage of the chaos. With emergency services pushed to their limits and the city on edge, they set a daring jewel heist in motion, using the bomb scare as the perfect cover. The most recent film by David Mackenzie (Starred Up and Hell or High Water) includes a stellar cast and was written by Ben Hopkins who also wrote Willem Dafoe’s Inside, and The Market: A Tale of Trade. This action-packed heist film full of twists premiered at Toronto at the Gala section.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
