Heist: The Northern Bank Robbery

In 2004 armed men coerced two bank employees into stealing £26.5 million from the Northern Bank in Belfast. Now, almost two decades later, two journalists revisit the unsolved case and look at the police investigation, legal prosecution, and how suspected ties to the IRA influenced the Northern Ireland peace process.

Directed by Raphaelle O'Loan, Heist: The Northern Bank Robbery leans on a strong ensemble — Darragh MacIntyre, Sam McBride, John Horan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2021.
