Plot

In the mid 90s a group of young friends aged 11-15 stole an enormous amount of beer and soda from freight trains in Trondheim, Norway.

In the mid 90s a gang of young criminals roamed the streets of Ranheim, a working class suburb of Trondheim. They executed successful heists stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of soda and beer from the northbound freight train. No one expected the culprits to be young boys aged 11 to 15 years old.

“Train Robbers” is a nostalgic, funny, serious, warm, sad and poetic coming of age documentary about kids that didn’t fit in at school or the football team. This could have been a film about adult men with drug addiction, prison sentences and split families. But it is not. This is a story about the children that had the future ahead of themselves, but society let down.

Denne filmen er en rekonstruksjon basert på samtaler med flere av medlemmene i Ranheims-gjengen.
