But Thom is intrigued by Moreland’s offer of unimaginable riches – even though Thom seemingly comes from a wealthy family – and the prospect of doing something exciting after graduation. That’s Cambridge University engineering student Thom Laybrick (Freddie Highmore, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY TV’s THE GOOD DOCTOR), who is such a whizz at problem solving, companies are falling over themselves trying to recruit him.
#THE VAULT 2021 TRUE STORY HOW TO#
Moreland has done his homework though, and he realises that there’s only one possible person who could figure out how to get them in and out of the vault safely. No problem getting it out, right? Well, slight problem because the vault is connected to a water tank that opens up and floods the chamber should the vault’s security get breached. No sooner has he and his team – comprising former British MI5 (or maybe MI6, I can’t remember, not that it’s important) operative, James (Sam Riley, the MALEFICENT films RADIOACTIVE), Spanish logistics guy Simon (Luis Tosar, MIENTRAS DUERMES), German computer hacker extraordinaire Klaus (Axel Stein) and pan-European art expert and master of cheap wig wearing Lorraine (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD) – come upon a sunken Spanish galleon laden with gold and other precious items, then the Spanish customs authorities swoop down on their boat and confiscate the bounty, depositing it into one of the world’s most impregnable vaults, located way down inside the bowels of the Bank of Spain in Madrid. Walter Moreland (Liam Cunningham, TV’s GOT) is a modern-day treasure hunter. With WAY DOWN (also known as THE VAULT), Spanish filmmaker Jaume Balagueró (three of the four films) has decided to throw his hat into the ring with a film that features a multinational cast and an alphabet soup of screenwriters. Sure, they’re rather formulaic but they can be a lot of fun to watch if they’re done right… IF they’re done right. There has been no shortage of heist films over the years with directors from all over the world trying their hand at making one.
