Stone of Destiny looks like a pretty decent UK cops and robbers movie ...
Here's what I know to be true: On Christmas day 1950, and Ian Hamilton and his mates stole a 300 lb rock from Westminster Abbey, risking 20 years in jail for no great return - except Scotland's honour.
Stone of Destiny is directed by Charles Martin Smith and stars Charlie Cox, (Stardust), and Robert Carlyle of (Trainspotting, Full Monty) Rab Affleck, Billy Boyd, and Kate Mara.
A heist 600 years in the making - the movie recreates the theft of the Stone of Scone on Christmas Day 1951. This holy relic a symbol of Scotland - but its also the rock upon which all the Kings and Queens of England are and have been crowned.
