Terry is a small-time car dealer trying to leave his shady past behind and start a family. Martine is a beautiful model from Terry's old neighbourhood who knows that Terry is no angel. When Martine proposes a foolproof plan to rob a bank, Terry recognises the danger but realises this may be the opportunity of a lifetime. As the resourceful band of thieves burrows its way into a safe-deposit vault at a Lloyds Bank, they quickly realise that, besides millions in riches, the boxes also contain secrets that implicate everyone from London's most notorious underworld gangsters to powerful government figures, and even the Royal Family. Although the heist makes headlines throughout Britain for several days, a government gag order eventually brings all reporting of the case to an immediate halt.

Roger Donaldson said one of the most difficult days of filming was when he filmed the brothel scene. The scene called for the women to be walking around wearing only garters. However, Donaldson said that when he went to film the scene he discovered that most of the women shaved their genitals, which would have been anachronistic for 1971. So the actresses had to wear pubic wigs called "merkins." This caused a problem because the merkins were hard to secure in place and kept slipping, causing Donaldson much aggravation.
Based on the true story about Princess Margaret's sexual affairs with Jamaican men in the 1970s, and of her pictures being caught and saved in a highly secured unknown bank.
Scotland Yard considered charging the ham radio operator, who recorded the walkie-talkie conversations between the bank robbers, with illegally listening to their transmissions, but no such charge was filed. Lloyds Bank, however, paid him a reward of £2,500.
When Eddie says, "Money may be your god, but it ain't mine," this is almost exactly what the real life lookout for the bank robbers said over his walkie-talkie during the robbery. This is known because, as in the movie, a ham radio operator tape recorded some of the conversations broadcast by the robbers.
Aldwych station was chosen to film the underground scenes because the true Tottenham Court Road station had been modified extensively in the early 1980s. Only Edgware Road still has any resemblance to its original look.
"Sonia Bern: [to police officer] The whole point of having a safe deposit box is so that people like you don't know what's in it!"
"[Terry has fallen through into an underground vault while digging the tunnel to get into the bank] Dave Shilling: What's down there? Terry Leather: It's a pile of skeletons. Dave Shilling: You're joking. Let's hope they're not the last gang who tried to take this bank. [robbers laugh]"
