See the films the platforms disagree about most →In 1961, a 60-year-old taxi driver from Newcastle steals a valuable painting of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. He holds it for ransom, not for personal gain, but to protest the government's policy of charging television licenses to pensioners. His act captures the nation's imagination.
