There’s nothing quite like a good heist movie – it’s a fantastic little mini-genre of its own, full of classics but also cult favourites. Having a good roster of heist movies to fall back on might just be key to deciding thebest streaming service, in fact.
After all, there’s a lot that can go into a good heist flick, from planning and recruitment montages to last-minute changes of plan – and all of them can be great fun to watch, alongside the central question of how the job’s going to be pulled off.
Now, one unlikely heist movie has pulled off quite a steal of its own, sneaking into the top spot on Netflix here in the UK this week.The Vaultalso stars a much-lovedGame of Thronesstar in an entirely different role.

Released in 2021 and potentially a little bit unnoticed because of the lack of cinema activity back at that point,The Vaultjust hit Netflix for the first time here in the UK and has clearly been winning people over in a big way.
Game of Thrones' Liam Cunningham – who most of you will know as Davros – features as the mastermind behind an ambitious plan to rob the Bank of Spain during a World Cup game that the country will feature in. It’s the perfect distraction.
To get the job done, though, he needs the help of a genius engineering student who might not be a natural fit with a life of crime – lending a fish out of water element to the story that really helps it zip along in the early stages.
