The Great Train Robbery: August 8th,1963.

There was a movie made about this robbery.

"The Great Train Robbery" took place in England.  A gang of 15 train robbers stole 2.6 million pounds in bank notes.

If you watch the movie you can see what the producers and directors think took place to plan and execute the robbery.  One of the robbers that was captured was Charlie Wilson.  I found an interesting tidbit on Wikipedia about him:

 On 12 August 1964, Charlie Wilson escaped from Winson Green Prison in Birmingham in under 3 minutes, with the escape being unprecedented in that a 3 man team broke into the prison to extricate him.
