The First Great Train Robbery is a 1979 film directed by Michael Crichton, who also wrote the screenplay based on his novel The Great Train Robbery. In the U.S., the film was also known as The Great Train Robbery.

The film starred Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland and Lesley-Anne Down.

The film features many picturesque characters and scenes of the Victorian era, particularly the criminal mobs of the time. Although set in London and Kent, most of the filming took place in Ireland. In particular, the final scenes were filmed in Parliament Square of Trinity College, Dublin and Kent Railway Station in Cork.

Sutherland and Connery wish to rob a moving train's safe in Victorian England. They need wax impressions of keys, coffins, dead cats, and a great deal of planning in order to pull it off. Written by John Vogel
