Synopsis: Having fallen foul of the pension crisis after five decades of lawabiding, tax-paying citizenship, retired couple Martha (Virginia McKenna, Born Free) and Arthur (Bernard Hill, Titanic) are forced into an unexpected life of crime in this star-studded comedy heist caper.

Martha and Arthur refuse to accept this injustice of old age. The plan is simple – the financial industry has stolen their hard-earned pensions, so they're going to steal them back, at the same time helping friends who are down-on their-luck, and saving the social club from becoming a supermarket.

Towing their Valencia Getaway Caravan behind their trusty Rover, they map out a crime route that takes in National Trust properties along the way. As they bumble their way through a succession of bank robberies, dressed in masks and armed with cucumbers as guns, this unlikely criminal duo feel a new surge of life running through their veins. But, with old time detective Sid and his young sidekick Dave on the case, who are in turn hounded by the ruthless DI Stringer, who's keen to get the credit for solving the case, the police are soon closing in. With the auction of their beloved club looming, life is about to throw everything it's got at our grey-haired heroes as they enlist their closest friends in an attempt to pull off their most audacious heist yet.
