Who doesn’t love a caper? When genius, courage and good luck unite, it’s the stuff of legends.  But when big schemes fail, as they often do, they lead to great disappointment…and even greater stories.

Join presenter Johnny Kinsman in exploring anecdotes of the most lucrative scores, the unlikeliest escapes, and the biggest blunders that led to glory, fortune, freedom…and the occasional bruised egos and broken bones.
