In London, Charlie Croker, a suave thief recently released from prison, is presented with a plan that could be his most audacious heist yet. The scheme involves hijacking a convoy of gold bullion worth millions that is being transported through the streets of Turin, Italy. The mastermind behind this elaborate plan, Mr. Bridger, a notorious crime boss who operates his empire from prison, has placed his trust in Croker to carry out the job. To pull off the theft, Charlie assembles a team of skilled criminals, including computer expert Professor Peach and charismatic getaway driver, Bill Bailey. Together, they devise a complex scheme to create a massive traffic jam to manipulate the transportation of the gold.

Amidst the picturesque backdrop of Italy, the team prepares meticulously for the heist, fine-tuning their roles and the intricate details of the plan. They aim to exploit the city's traffic systems and outwit the authorities, who are oblivious to the impending criminal masterstroke. Charlie and his crew's high-speed precision driving in a fleet of Minis becomes the defining element of their escape strategy. The stakes are incredibly high, and failure would mean certain imprisonment, but with meticulous timing and a bit of British wit and charm, they edge ever closer to potentially pulling off one of the greatest heists in history.
