A major bank robbery—described as “almost too crazy to be true”—is inspiring a new Irish-Australian film. Multiple outlets report that the heist involves a large payout, with figures cited at about $120 million, but that the case has never been solved.
The coverage positions the robbery as a rare, high-profile crime that has lingered in public memory due to its alleged scale and unusual aspects. Sources also link the real-life events to the film’s premise, framing the story as one that attracted cinematic interest precisely because it remains unresolved.
Across the three reports, the core facts align: the robbery occurs, a large amount of money is taken, and investigators have not produced a definitive resolution. The outlets differ mainly in their emphasis—some highlight the dramatic “almost too crazy to be true” framing—while still pointing to the same unsolved status and the same broad financial figure.
