The Duke
A priceless true story.
Directed by Roger Michell
Produced by Pathé, Ingenious Media
A charming, character-driven heist comedy rooted in a true story about an ordinary man's audacious act and the human connections it forges.
In 1961, a 60-year-old taxi driver stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. What happened next became the stuff of legend.
