Heist 2: The Remarkable Robot Robbery





After saving the world from an alien takeover in The Great Chocolate Caper, the Heist team are back in a stonking new adventure – and this time, they’re saving the aliens from the humans!

When Andy McGee and his crew make it to the finals of the National Robot Battle in Sydney, they find themselves exactly where they need to be to join the alien Resistance and do what they do best - orchestrate a daring, audacious, high-stakes heist that will go down in the history books.

Magic tricks and misdirection, with a sideshow of clever robot trickery amidst secret tunnels in Sydney's iconic harbour, make this heist especially spectacular!
