Buster is the name of a 1988 comedy-drama movie starring musician Phil Collins, Julie Walters, Larry Lamb and Sheila Hancock.
It tells (a romanticised version of) the true story of the 1963 great train robbery, focusing more on the character of robber Buster Edwards and his subsequent flight from justice than on the robbery itself.
The robbery scenes were filmed on the Great Central Railway, using a disguised British Rail Class 37 locomotive as a stand-in for the Class 40 which was actually involved.
The movie was adapted for the stage in 2000 by British writer and producer, Kieran Woodbury. Several hit singles were released from the movie by Collins, including "Groovy Kind of Love" and "Two Hearts", which reached #1 and #6 on the UK Singles Chart respectively. Both songs were Number One singles in the US.
