Grand Slam is a 1978 British comedy film that chronicles the wild adventures of a motley crew of professional bank robbers who come together to pull off a daring heist. Directed by Peter Duffell, the movie stars Windsor Davies, Hugh Griffith, and Dewi Morris in the lead roles. The plot revolves around Johnnie Fingers, played by Davies, a retired professional criminal who is recruited by Eddie, played by Morris, to help him and his gang of misfits rob a bank in Turin, Italy. Eddie, who is the mastermind behind the heist, has devised a plan to steal a priceless collection of rare stamps worth millions of dollars that are being exhibited in the bank's vault. The team of bank robbers consists of a ragtag bunch of characters, each with their own unique set of skills and eccentricities. There's the aging, eccentric Welshman, O'Grady, played by Griffith, who's an expert in explosives, the Frenchman, Louis, who's a master of disguise, the dapper young Englishman, Richard, who's an expert in electronics and surveillance, and the lanky American, Slim, who's a crack shot with a rifle. The gang is an unlikely band of thieves who each have their own reasons for taking part in the heist. O'Grady is motivated by the desire to win back his estranged wife, while Louis wants to use the money to fund his culinary aspirations. Richard sees the heist as a way to prove himself to his overbearing father and Slim is in it for the thrill of adventure. As the gang members prepare for the heist, tensions start to rise, and the group's lack of experience becomes increasingly apparent. Eddie's plan begins to unravel, and the robbers find themselves facing unexpected and dangerous obstacles. They must navigate their way through a series of hazardous situations, including a high-speed car chase, a treacherous mountain climb, and a narrow escape from the police. Despite the odds stacked against them, the gang remains determined to succeed in their mission, but as they get closer to their target, they begin to realize that the stakes are higher than they ever anticipated. Along the way, the robbers develop a bond that extends beyond the heist, and they find themselves questioning the morality of their actions.
