The six-episode series that BBC collaborated with Paramount+ is based on the Brink's-Mat robbery, which is known as the crime of the century. On November 26, 1983, six armed robbers at the Brink's-Mat warehouse near Heathrow Airport, who had planned a cash robbery, mistakenly found as many as 3000 kilograms of gold bars held by Zhuangxin Wanfeng Company. in the end, they robbed 26 million pounds worth of gold, diamonds and cash and managed to escape. Most of the gold after the robbery was not recovered, and only two of the participants were convicted. But this major event has caused a variety of aftermath: the former Zhuang Xin Wanfeng Bank fell into crisis and collapsed, London dock real estate poured into dirty money and into various international criminal activities, and the "curse of Brink-Mat" quietly arose, as those involved ended up being shot and killed decades ago.
