In 1978, three months after the death of Charlie Chaplin, his body disappeared from its grave in Corsier-Sur-Vevey. It would be quite some time before the robbers would eventually contact the family asking for half a million Swiss Francs. Their offer denied, the criminals turned to violence against the family instead…and that’s not even where the mystery begins. STEALING CHARLIE CHAPLIN is a documentary unlike any other, chronicling the disappearance, ransom and recovery of the body of an international icon.
