Le Cerveau (literally: The Brain) is a 1969 comedy film about a second train robbery by the brains of the Great Train Robbery.
Two friends, Anatole and Arthur, plan a spectacular heist : the attack of a freight train which carries from Paris to Brussels the secret funds of NATO. They don't know that another team is planning the same attack, the same one which performed the Glasgow-London Great Train Robbery; the team is headed by The Brain, a man whose head is so heavy that, when he has a strong emotion, he cannot keep it upright. The Brain has also a deal with the Sicilian mafia.
