Money Movers is a 1978 Australian crime thriller directed by Bruce Beresford, starring Terence Donovan, Tony Bonner, and Ed Devereaux. The story follows an ex-cop named Leo Bassett (Donovan) who has been hired to be the security consultant for a cash distribution company. The company is planning a major heist, and Leo is tasked with helping the company employees plan and carry out the heist while keeping the police at bay.

The movie opens with a group of men dressed in black suits entering and leaving a building with large bags. We are introduced to Leo Bassett, who is tasked with testing the security of the cash distribution company's warehouses. He quickly discovers flaws in the system and is hired by the company to train security personnel and prevent future heists.

During his time there, Leo meets one of the company employees, Eric Jackson (Bonner), who is seemingly desperate for money. The two become friends, and Eric confides in Leo that he is in debt and can't make ends meet. Leo suggests to Eric that he consider robbing the company, as he knows the security and the best way to do it. Eric initially dismisses the idea, but as his financial situation worsens, he becomes more tempted.

The rest of the movie follows Eric as he convinces a group of his colleagues to join him in the heist. Leo helps them plan the robbery, and they go to great lengths to avoid the police. However, as the plan comes to fruition, we see a series of unforeseeable events unfold that only make things more complicated.

Throughout the movie, we are given glimpses into the characters' personal lives, including Leo's estranged relationship with his wife and Eric's strained relationship with his girlfriend. Some of the supporting characters also provide some much-needed comic relief, such as the bumbling security guard who is more interested in baseball than his job.

Ultimately, Money Movers is a movie about desperation, greed, and the struggle to make a living. It takes viewers on a thrilling ride through the world of crime and heists but also provides some insight into the motivations of the characters involved. The movie is tautly directed, and the performances are solid, especially from Donovan and Bonner.

In terms of the movie's production, it features some impressive action scenes, including a car chase and a tense stand-off between the robbers and the police. The soundtrack is also worth mentioning, featuring a funky score by Australian musician Patrick Flynn.

Overall, Money Movers is an entertaining and well-crafted thriller that provides a thrilling ride for fans of heist movies.

Money Movers is a 1979 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 32 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.5.
