Synopsis
Sky High (Hasta el cielo, 2020) is a Spanish crime thriller directed by Daniel Calparsoro — watch it online on iFILM. Young thief Ángel falls in with a crew of sharp, reckless criminals who built their lifestyle on the back of Spain's real-estate boom. The crash comes. The money evaporates. What's left is debt, danger, and a gang that can't afford loose ends.
Miguel Herrán, recognizable from Money Heist but playing nothing like that role here, brings an uncertainty to Ángel that makes him sympathetic even when he's making the wrong call. Luis Tosar plays the seasoned criminal pulling the strings — cold, controlled, exactly the wrong person to owe a favor. Carolina Yuste and Asia Ortega round out a cast where almost everyone has more going on than they show.
A Spain–Belgium–France co-production, the film treats the economic collapse as background radiation — it shaped these people before the story begins, and you feel it in every decision they make. Stream Sky High (2020) online on iFILM — a lean, visually confident thriller that carries its social commentary lightly.
