A thrilling thriller

The Money Heist It is the first Spanish series whose plot axis revolves around the perfect bank robbery; in this case, not to a bank, but to none other than the National Mint and Stamp Factory. A very commercial genre that has been widely exploited in cinema and that in the series will be approached from a very particular perspective with its own differential characteristics.

A police thriller with a robbery, a kidnapping with hostages, and even a love story. A perfect hit. It is an acidic and black comedy... It is entertainment in its purest form. And everything is filtered positively, with a scathing and unique conception of dialogues, extreme situations and tension. A series where the red line that separates the good guys from the bad is blurring day by day...

The Money Heist is more than a perfect big bank heist thriller. Behind this packaging the viewer will find a story full of rhythm, tension, emotion and with an outstanding visual invoice. A masterstroke devised and perfected for years, planned for months and executed in a few minutes so that the chosen group of thieves who enter the National Mint and Stamp Factory at gunpoint make the Police believe that their plan has failed... and that they are besieged inside the building with no other way out than their surrender.

Once días de encierro con los 67 rehenes (entre empleados de la FNMT y alumnos de un colegio que se encontraban de visita) y un operativo policial sin precedentes que mantendrá en jaque a todo el Gobierno. Un atraco de minuciosa planificación, cuyos ejecutores necesitan un mínimo de días para poder llevarlo a cabo. Por esta razón es por lo que en el propio transcurso del tiempo está la clave de su éxito. ¿Quién puede estar detrás de esta descabellada idea?

Una convivencia entre ladrones y rehenes: 47 adultos, 28 adolescentes… que dará lugar a un sinfín de posibles relaciones de amor/odio/celos/ ternura y dolor… y una partida de ajedrez: la que mantendrá El Profesor con Raquel (Itziar Ituño), la oficial de Policía encargada de las negociaciones con los atracadores. La historia, que contiene todos los ingredientes de su género, se enriquece con elementos diferenciales, con personajes femeninos de mucho peso en el desarrollo de los acontecimientos y en el enfoque de la narración.
