What is the Plotline of the Gold?

The Gold chronicles the narrative of the infamous Brink’s-Mat robbery and is based on significant research and interviews with several of those involved. On November 26, 1983, six armed thieves set forth to carry out what was believed to be “a conventional Old Kent Road armed robbery”.

When they broke into the Brink’s-Mat security station near Heathrow Airport, they discovered gold bullion worth £26 million. The robbers got entrance to the warehouse due to a security guard who was complicit in the crime, then poured gasoline on the employees inside and threatened them with a lit match if they did not give the vault’s combination digits.

The heist constituted a watershed moment in British criminal history, with ramifications that spanned the globe. The sale of gold bullion spawned large-scale international money laundering, and the unlawful profits fueled the property boom in London Dockland. It brought together blue and white-collar crooks and set off a chain of events that culminated in murder.
