Jewel Thief

The Jewel Thief tells the true story of Gerald Blanchard. Blanchard was once called the world’s most ingenious thief. The title is a nod to Blanchard’s high-stakes heist in Austria, where he stole the Sisi Star in 1998.

The film explores more than just that incident though. It dives deep into his upbringing and his decades of crime leading up to the Sisi Star heist, which seemed to have marked the beginning of the end for Blanchard’s outlandish lifestyle.
