simple tension

It's nostalgic enough to suddenly look at a movie from 28 years ago. At that time, Sean Connery's acting skills were uneventful and not brilliant, but his funny partner was even more impressive, as well as the heroine who looked exactly like Catherine Zeta Jones, very pp.
Of course, in this film, the rigor and simplicity of the British are vividly presented, with almost no extra clues and dialogue, the plot is compact, and the shots are very simple, but at the same time, it can still create a sense of tension. The most impressive part is the part where exactly 75 seconds are copied to the 2nd and 3rd keys, and the climax is the part that robs gold on the moving train. Although old movies are technically far from modern movies, and the cost is different, they can still attract people with their plot settings. Shouldn't they give some inspiration to those so-called big directors?
