In this brilliantly tense 60s British thriller, a group of London crims race against time to correct a potentially deadly mistake made during a bank heist. 

Strongroom has been criminally underseen for decades, but with its restoration by the BFI, we can now revel in its immacutely constructed narrative and its portrait of the seedy underbelly of 60s London. Strongroom's main appeal lies in its gripping, race-against-the-clock storyline - the film wastes not one second of its 80 minute running time - but with its sympathetic portrayal of both the working-class robbers and the bourgeois bank staff, this is much more than "just" a genre film. 

It makes you wonder - what other gems are lost in the vaults of the much-maligned British film industry?
