What We're Excited About
The Gold on Masterpiece
On November 26, 1983, six armed men broke into the Brink’s-Mat security depot near London’s Heathrow Airport, and inadvertently stumbled across gold bullion worth £26m — the disposal of which led to a vast international money laundering operation. The Gold is a pulsating dramatization that takes a journey into a 1980s world awash with cheap money and loosened morals to tell this extraordinary and epic story for the first time in its entirety.
