Michael Caine's British crime thriller King of Thieves is now available to watch on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland.
The 2018 film is based on the notorious Hatton Garden jewellery robbery of April 2015, which saw an elderly gang of thieves break into the Hatton Garden Safety Deposit Company vault in London and steal around £200 million in goods.
As well as Caine, King of Thieves stars Jim Broadbent, Tom Courtenay, Ray Winstone, Michael Gambon, Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Cox.
The film is directed by The Theory of Everything's James Marsh and written by Joe Penhall, creator of Netflix's Mindhunter.
Despite its all-star cast, King of Thieves received mostly negative reviews from critics following its release, earning it a score of just 31% on Rotten Tomatoes from 86 reviews.

"King of Thieves unites an incredible cast for a heist movie brimming with potential - most of which, sadly, evaporates long before the end credits have started to roll," reads the site's critical consensus.

Meanwhile, ITV released a four-part drama based on the events titled Hatton Garden, starring Timothy Spall, Kenneth Cranham and Brian F O'Byrne.

The series initially faced huge delays due to the ongoing court case over the real criminals, before it was eventually broadcast in 2019.
"They had to pull it, very late in the day," writer Jeff Pope told Digital Spy at the time. "It was a completely unconnected case, but we ran the risk of prejudicing it.
"You're caught in a trap, desperately trying to find a way out. You're thinking, 'Can we re-cut it?' But whichever way we turned, we were trapped, because the case involved Terry Perkins... and he's in almost every scene, so you can't cut him out!"
King of Thieves is now available to watch on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland.
