The Brain

In this caper, two small-time thieves plot to steal a fortune from a special train, only to find themselves competing with a more organized criminal outfit. Set against the backdrops of Paris and New York, it's a comedic heist with unexpected twists. The film features classic slapstick and a lighthearted tone as everyone tries to outsmart each other.
