Armored Car Robbery is a 1950 American film noir shot in a semi-documentary style, directed by Richard Fleischer, and starring Charles McGraw. The movie was filmed on location in Los Angeles, California.
Armored Car Robbery is one of the first of the heist movies, a sub-genre of the crime film. The film tells the story of a well-planned robbery of cash from an armored car when it stops at a sports stadium. The heist goes awry, a police officer is shot dead, and a tough Los Angeles cop named Cordell (Charles McGraw) sets off in hot pursuit of the culprits.
