We’re officially in the week leading up to the beginning of December, Friday being officially Die Hard and when the tree goes up in our house. Well, prepare for a glut of festive films on the telly box, including this one The Heist Before Christmas with Timothy Spall as Father Christmas. Now, if that isn’t enough for you to tune in then I don’t know what is.
The Heist Before Christmas also stars James Nesbitt, Joshua McLees, Bamber Todd, Bronagh Waugh, Peter Rethinasamy, Laura Donnely and Lloyd Hutchinson and will air on Sky Max this holiday season.
The plot is as follows.
Twelve-year-old Mikey Collins, who’s dirt-poor and hates Christmas, finds two Santa Clauses in the woods. One has just robbed a bank and is on the run with the cash, the other Santa claims to have fallen out of his sleigh. Mikey has no time for this second guy – he’s well past believing any of the Jingle Bells, spirit-of-the-season rubbish, even if his little brother Sean insists on treating the old man like a superstar. Instead, Mikey’s determined to get his hands on the bank-robber’s cash, convinced that this is the answer to giving his family the Christmas they all crave. But as Mikey risks everything for the loot, he comes to realise that maybe the spirit of Christmas is alive after all…
The film comes to Sky Max in the UK in December.
Here’s the trailer.
