Murray’s own account of the infamous Securitas Depot heist is at the center of the upcoming series CATCHING LIGHTNING. The show features interviews with Murray’s family and friends, as well as MMA icons like Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell, and Pat Miletich, some of whom have never spoken publicly about the crime. The series offers a detailed look at the daring heist and investigation that made headlines in Britain for months. Using previously unreleased evidence, dramatic recreations filmed on location, and exclusive testimonies from a range of sources, including conspirators, police investigators, and attorneys, the series tells the story of the crime like never before.
SHOWTIME SPORTS® President Stephen Espinoza said, “The story of Lee Murray and the Securitas Depot heist is the stuff of Hollywood heist movies: full of fascinating characters, thrilling action and shocking plot twists.” He praised Pat Kondelis and his team at Bat Bridge Entertainment for weaving together a cinematic page-turner that delivers a captivating story about larger-than-life personalities and characters told through a relatable, human lens.
Kondelis, the producer of the Emmy Award-winning film and television production team at Bat Bridge Entertainment, said, “It’s rare to be able to contribute so much new information to a story that has such a mythical status. I’m immensely proud to partner with SHOWTIME to tell this epic, once-in-a-lifetime story.”
