Robbery Under Arms is a 1907 Australian film based on the popular 1888 novel. It was from the team of John and Nevin Tait and Millard Johnson and William Gibson, who had just made The Story of the Kelly Gang.[4][5][6] It is considered a lost film.
Another film based on the same the book came out the same year, from the MacMahon brothers, which was filmed in Sydney.[7][8][9] This has led to some confusion as to whether the Tait-Johnson-Gibson film even existed.
