The CinePearl Take

The First Great Train Robbery is a 1970s English film that blends heist and drama — expect crews, schemes and the thrill of the big score and character-driven, emotional storytelling. Michael Crichton directs and the script comes from Michael Crichton. With 14 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in United Kingdom, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1978, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 110 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
