Buster
Buster is a 1988 British romantic crime comedy-drama based on events from the Great Train Robbery, starring Phil Collins and Julie Walters.
Plot
Buster Edwards is a petty criminal from Lambeth in 1963 London. His long-suffering wife June thinks of him as a lovable rogue. The film opens with Buster walking along his local high street and breaking into a shop to steal a suit, which he then wears to a funeral. Also attending the funeral is police inspector Mitchell, who happens to be an old school friend of Buster and wants to 'keep in touch'. Buster brings Harry, who has been used on other 'jobs' and has recently served 18 months in prison, to discuss the next 'job' with their ring-leader Bruce Reynolds. Harry wants 'in' and becomes part of the firm who are planning to rob a Royal Mail train allegedly carrying up to £1 million in cash.
