The Gold - Trailer and Plot
The grim trailer for the series provides a glimpse into the convoluted theft and its fallout. The theft featured in the story is frequently regarded as one of Britain's largest robberies, as viewers are aware because the story is based on actual events.
The frantic trailer illustrates the issues the six people face both before and after the crime. Additionally, it provides a peek into 1980s London with all of its liveliness. The official synopsis of the series, as provided by the BBC, is as follows:
"Hugh Bonneville stars alongside Jack Lowden and Dominic Cooper in a series inspired by the iconic true story of the Brink's-Mat robbery and its aftermath. On 26 November 1983, six armed men broke into the Brink's-Mat security depot, stumbling across gold bullion worth £26m."
It further reads:
"The disposal of the bullion caused the birth of large-scale international money laundering, provided the dirty money that helped fuel the London Docklands property boom, united blue and white-collar criminals and left controversy and murder in its wake. What started as a 'typical Old Kent Road armed robbery' according to detectives at the time, became a seminal event in British criminal history."
Since its release on the BBC, the series has garnered critical acclaim, with the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes even giving it an 86% rating. The Gold has been called one of the best heist television series in a long time.
The Gold cast
Jack Lowden, who plays Kenneth Noye, a crook who assisted the robbers in disposing of the gold bullion, is the star of the ensemble cast. Hugh Bonneville, who plays Brian Boyce; Dominic Cooper, who plays Edwyn Cooper; and Charlotte Spencer, who plays Nicki Jennings, make up the other three important cast members.
The series will premiere on Paramount+ on September 17, 2023.
