The Golden Years
Arthur (69) isn’t your run-of-the-mill bank-robber. Not unless you were picturing a sexagenarian pensioner with dodgy knees. But when the world pushes him too far, Arthur has no other option than to fight back. It all starts when he sees his friend Charlie (92), a frail WW2 veteran, suffering at the hands of lazy care-home staff, and escalates when he discovers that his pension fund has collapsed in the wake of the Financial Crisis and that many of his friends have suffered the same fate.
