Plunder Road is an interesting film, although not fully achieved.
It tells the story of a fantastic robbery on a train, with a shipment of gold, meticulously and intelligently planned, but fatally destined to failure, as, very illuminatingly, states one of the secondary characters.
The point is that the supposed adverse fate manifests itself through gross errors and not hypothetical bad luck, or even effective police control.
The adventurers end up victims of their own stupidity, which clearly contradicts the film's initial premise, a perfect plan, destroyed only by imponderable unforeseen events.
A noir film that thrives above all on tension and not so much on a good script, as this proves to be, essentially, much more fragile than it promises.
