This film is a feature film (billed as an adventure-comedy) based on the audacious true-life attempt of 4 students to bring the Stone of Scone back to Scotland.
I believe Charlie Cox, Kate Mara, Robert Carlyle, Billy Boyd and Brenda Fricker are appearing.

I'm not sure about Brenda Fricker, but the other four are definitely in it.

Billy is defintely appearing in it. He was on the This Morning programme on ITV in the UK on Thursday, and he spoke about the filming.
