   In 1978, Michael Crichton adapted his novel, The Great Train Robbery, into a film. A novel that took its cues from an actual train robbery in 1855. It's a fun one, with Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland playing witty rascals planning an impossible gold robbery on a moving train, and executing that plan with some flair, and no small number of improvisations along the way. A lot of time is in fact spent on figuring out how to do the heist and on acquiring the keys necessary to get the safes open. By the time the train pulls out of the station, you're salivating for a resolution. All the way through, there's sufficient humor to keep the film from becoming too much of a procedural, with Connery is especial form. They should make more capers that take place in historical settings, whether true stories or not. 6 years 4 months ago
