The 1975's music video for "Robbers" tells a romantic narrative inspired by the Quentin Tarantino film "True Romance". It depicts a couple madly in love who use drugs and engage in criminal activities. Throughout the video, the camera focuses closely on the intimate interactions between the lead characters using techniques like close-ups and tracking shots. While the band themselves are not seen performing, frontman Matt Healy is shown singing to his on-screen lover. The overall style is reminiscent of 1970s/80s rock films through the costumes, setting, and depiction of sex, drugs and violence.
