Welcome to boom time in the wild west...it's the 1980's in Western Australia - a land that breeds excess, greed, corruption, conmen, dodgy cops and infamous tycoons. Against this colourful backdrop lies one of the most incredible true stories ever recorded in Australian criminal history.
Fortune hunters and larrakins, the Mickelberg brothers, have been charged and convicted with stealing 49 gold bars from the Perth Mint - the greatest gold heist ever undertaken in this country. Did they carry out this brazen robbery or were they framed by notorious detective Donald 'The Silver Fox' Hancock? It's a mystery 21 years in the making and still remains unsolved today.
Gripping, shocking and mesmerizing, this major new production features an all star cast including Shane Bourne, Grant Bowler, Josh Quong Tart, John Batchelor and Todd Lasance; and brilliantly brings to life a crime that shocked a nation.

Really good Aussie movie. I'd seen this movie on shelves a few times and passed it by but was impressed with the story, the acting and directing. Well worth the look.
