In 1961, a group of four experts steal US$ 1 million in golden bars and bring the treasure to a cave in the desert. Their plan is to go into suspended animation in capsules for one century and awake rich and free. When they awake, they learn the real value of the gold.
"The Rip Van Winkle Caper" is an episode of "The Twilight Zone" with an ironic tale of greed. The plot has many flaws, such as a man that develops such technology would have no need of steeling. Or how the capsule and the truck batteries kept loaded for one hundred years. Or how the fuel of the truck has not deteriorated a century later. De Cruz could have brought as many gold as he wanted. Why the need of exploring his accomplice? Anyway, the story is highly entertaining with a witty and tragic conclusion. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Um Assalto para o Futuro" ("A Heist for the Future")
