Although the Bank of Spain's highly secured vault is much harder for the characters of Money Heist to break into. The heist can be compared with National Treasure's, in which Nicholas Cage's character was able to break into an underground vault to steal America's Declaration of Independence. That's where Money Heist takes its creative liberties, seeing the characters plotting to enter the impenetrable vault.

With all the modern technology available it might sound very old-school to have a nation's gold reserves hidden behind a booby-trapped room, but the prospect of even trying to break in is daunting enough that there's never been an attempt to rob it in real life. Beyond that, there are almost certainly more security measures known only to higher-ups at the Bank of Spain. Beyond the second door is another chamber with another 13-ton steel door. If you make it through the first steel door and manage not to drown while getting through the second one, you're still not done. This elaborate plan does seem like it was created especially for the series, but the fact the flood door does actually exist gives Money Heist a semblance of realism, while also making the attempts to escape from the vault all the more engaging with high stakes. Thanks to the leadership of Nairobi and the welding skills of Bogotá they manage to pull it off by cutting a hole in the door and attaching an antechamber to it, so they can enter the flooded vault without actually opening the door. The Professor brings out a plan masterminded by Berlin that involves breaking into the Bank of Spain and stealing 90 tons of gold from its most highly protected vault.

It might seem like a work of fiction created for the outlandish crime series, but the Bank of Spain's flooding vault is real - and the real version is even more dramatic.Īfter successfully escaping with almost a billion Euros in untraceable bills in Money Heist season 1 and 2's Royal Mint heist, the gang teamed up again in season 3 after Rio was captured by Interpol.
