During a COVID-19 lockdown, sparring couple Linda and Paxton call a truce to attempt a high-risk jewellery heist at one of the world's most exclusive department stores, Harrods.
Acting
Hathaway's spiraling monologue about being a 'glorified secretary' is devastating.
Direction
Liman shot this in 18 days during actual lockdown. The claustrophobia is real.
Writing
Steven Knight's script was written in July 2020. Still somehow warm, not cringe.
Director
Doug Liman
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Harrods heist was filmed in the actual store at 3 AM with skeleton crew, making it possibly the only real location shoot during peak pandemic.
Released January 2021, this was Hollywood's first explicit COVID-era narrative—audiences either embraced the time capsule or ran screaming from reliving 2020.
