The Bank Job movie and Amateur Radio

Amateur Radio features in the new film 'The Bank Job'

A new British movie The Bank Job features Amateur Radio.

Due for release at the end of February The Bank Job is inspired by an extraordinary true event, a daring, unsolved robbery, which took place more than 35 years ago in London.

The robbery made headlines for a few days and then disappeared - the result of a UK Government ‘D’ Notice, gagging the press.

Pye handhelds are used by the criminals in the movie and they are intercepted by a Radio Amateur who becomes involved in the attempt to catch them.

On the official website at http://www.bankjobmovie.co.uk/ the "Trailer" option gives you 5 movie clips to view.

The Pye handhelds can be seen in movie clip 2 titled "No Names Eddie" and halfway through clip 5 "Tightening The Net" there is what looks like an Amateur Radio HF rig from the 60's or 70's (possibly Yaesu ?).

UK film censor rating: 15

USA MPAA Rating: R for sexual content, nudity, violence and language.
