In the tradition of such nothing-goes-right heist films as Big Deal on Madonna Street and Dog Day Afternoon comes Tu£sday - the seriocomic exploration of the chaos that can ensue when three different groups of criminals make the disastrous decision to rob the same bank on the very same day. In one corner of the City of Big Ben, a band of professional thieves known as The Cowboys - Billy (Ashley Walters), Earp (Philip Glenister), Butch (Cristian Solimeno) and Silver (John Simm) - learn that a precious emerald called the Meidan-i-Noor is being held overnight at a nearby bank; sensing opportunity afoot, they plan a heist. Meanwhile, office worker William (Linal Haft) isn't aware of the jewel per se, but decides to rob the bank of cash as an outlet for his desperation; he's being abandoned by his wife, and once she leaves he will face eviction from his home. And in the bank itself, two tellers, Samantha (Kirsty Mitchell) and Angie (Kate Macgowan) grow so infuriated at being passed over for a promotion that they also hatch a plan to steal the jewel. The three plots unfurl at the same time, leading to a host of complications and a wealth of confusion that balloons to almost farcical proportions.
