Gal Dove (Ray Winstone), a retired safecracker, is living the good life on the Costa del Sol when one day, his past drops in to say hello.

Psychotic crime fixer Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) has brought Gal an offer from London underworld kingpin Teddy Bass (Ian McShane) – and it’s an offer that Gal will find it very hard to refuse…

The debut film from Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Glazer (Under the Skin, The Zone of Interest) is a pitch-black comedy and one of the finest British films of the 21st century. Join Bradford 2025 and Wild Rumpus for this special immersive outdoor screening at Ilkley Lido – transformed for the occasion into a wonderland of hopes and dreams as part of our Open-Air Cinema season, which opens on Friday 22 August with Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.
