In this 1969 British comedy caper film, Michael Caine stars as Charlie Croker, a cunning thief released from prison who forms a gang to steal $4 million in gold bullion being transported through Turin, Italy. With the help of a seemingly inexhaustible supply of Mini Coopers and his crew's expertise, they plan an audacious robbery that paralyzes traffic in Turin and defies the Mafia's expectations. The film's success lies in its blend of humor, enjoyable heist sequences, and Caine's charismatic performance as the master thief who delivers a memorable line: "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
