Synopsis
The Vault (Way Down, 2021) is a Spanish heist thriller from director Jaume Balagueró that you can watch online on iFILM. Madrid, summer 2010. As the entire country glues itself to the national team's World Cup run, a crew underground is plotting its way into the most impenetrable strongroom in Spain — the vault of the Bank of Spain, whose defenses no one fully understands.
Thomas (Freddie Highmore), a brilliant young engineering graduate, gets recruited by chancer Walter (Liam Cunningham) for one reason: he might crack a mechanism the original designer took to his grave. They have only the ninety minutes of the final match to slip inside, beat a vault rigged to flood, and walk out while a roaring crowd in the plaza gives them perfect cover.
Balagueró, best known for the found-footage horror REC, plays this one as pure genre — a countdown, engineering puzzles and the roar of Madrid's streets in place of shootouts. It doesn't reach for depth, but it's neatly built and keeps moving. If you like films about the perfect plan and a timer ticking toward zero, stream The Vault (2021) online on iFILM.
