Assault on the Pay Train

“The film people have been waiting for: the violent story of the most audacious assault ever done in Brazil”

In Rio de Janeiro in 1960, Tião Medonho (Eliezer Gomes) gathers a gang to hold up a train carrying a small fortune in pay. Roberto Farias builds the film from the real case, with Reginaldo Faria as Grilo Peru and Jorge Dória as the Delegado on the other side of the chase. These are working men who see one crime that could change their lives, and the film never lets you forget how little else they have.
