Greatest Heists is hosted by the legendary Pierce Brosnan, who is best known for playing James Bond in the Bond movie series. In this latest HISTORY Channel series, the multi-award-winning actor is embedded into each heist through state-of-the-art technology.
Greatest Heists with Pierce Brosnan breaks down every aspect of the plan including the conniving team, the mark, the execution and finally the aftermath. The series also features leading criminologists, journalists, criminals, police, and historians to create an in-depth investigation into each real-life heist.
The eight-part docu-series investigates amongst others; the Baker Street Bank burglary which saw enterprising thieves tunnel underneath and up into the vault of a London bank and the notorious airline heist known as the Lufthansa Heist of New York. The Antwerp Belgium Diamond Heist, which saw thieves make off with more than $100 million in diamonds, gems, and cash after more than two years of planning, is also uncovered.
