There's a reason Guy Ritchie keeps getting away with making the same movie: people love a slick London heist with fast-talking criminals and a plot that doesn't stop twisting until the credits roll. Prime Video's Steal scratches that exact itch, a six-episode thriller about masked gunmen storming a London financial firm and pulling off a £4 billion robbery, with enough double-crosses to make your head spin.
The kicker is Sophie Turner as the seemingly ordinary office worker caught in the middle of it all, except "caught" might be generous once the show starts peeling back who she is and what she actually knew. The show's sitting at 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Turner getting some of the best reviews of her post-Game of Thrones career. And at just six episodes, it moves fast enough that you'll finish it before you've decided whether you trust a single character on screen.
Sophie Turner's 'Steal' Performance is Her Best Since 'Game of Thrones'
Turner has been on a fascinating post-Thrones journey. The X-Men movies didn't do her any favors (they didn't do anyone any favors, let's be honest), but her turn in ITV's Joan and the 2025 thriller Trust started to signal something different, a performer actively seeking out roles that require more than glaring at the horizon in furs. Steal is the best showcase for that evolution so far. As Zara Dunne, a trade processor at the pension management firm Lochmill Capital, Turner starts the series playing the kind of person you'd walk past without a second thought. She's good at her job, close with her colleague Luke (Archie Madekwe, continuing his Saltburn streak of picking interesting projects), and living the kind of quiet, unremarkable existence that makes what happens next feel genuinely jarring.
When armed men storm the office and force the staff to execute their demands at gunpoint, Zara does what anyone would: she survives. But Steal is less interested in the heist itself and more fascinated by its aftermath, specifically, the growing suspicion that Zara may have had a hand in the whole thing. Turner plays that ambiguity beautifully, keeping the audience guessing about her motives without ever tipping into camp.
The Heist in 'Steal' is Only the Beginning
Here's where Steal diverges from the Ritchie playbook in a way that actually works in its favor. In a Guy Ritchie joint, the heist is the architecture, the scaffolding that holds up all the quippy dialogue and stylized violence. In Steal, the robbery happens in the first episode. The remaining five are about the fallout, a tense, increasingly paranoid investigation led by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd's DCI Rhys Covaci as he tries to figure out who orchestrated a theft of pension funds and why. That pivot from heist to procedural gives the show a different kind of momentum. Instead of watching the crime get assembled piece by piece, you're watching it get dismantled, and every time Rhys pulls one thread, two more unravel.
The robbers themselves are volatile and compelling, particularly Jonathan Slinger as "London," the operation's coolly menacing mastermind, and Andrew Howard as "Sniper," a loose cannon whose unpredictability makes every scene he's in feel as if it could go sideways. The show earns its twists by planting them early and paying them off rather than just lobbing shocking reveals at the wall and hoping they stick.
'Steal' is Prime Video's Most Bingeable Thriller Right Now

Steal isn't reinventing the genre. Some of the middle episodes could stand to be tighter, and the show occasionally leans on familiar tropes (the detective with personal baggage, the partner who's always one step behind). But the pacing is sharp enough that those bumps barely register when you're watching episodes back-to-back, which is clearly how this thing was designed to be consumed.
The show understands what it is: a propulsive, well-cast British thriller that knows how to land a cliffhanger, and it never wastes your time pretending otherwise. If you've already binged The Gentlemen, worn out your Snatch Blu-ray, and need something to fill the gap until Guy Ritchie inevitably makes another show about charming British criminals, Steal is your weekend sorted. Just don't get too comfortable trusting anyone on-screen.
'Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner Faces the Heist of the Century in New Thriller Series Trailer
Sophie Turner is an ordinary office worker caught up in the crime of the century in the new trailer for Steal. The Prime Video TV series will deal with the aftermath of a devastating heist, as an ordinary woman gets entangled with both the thieves and British intelligence. All six episodes of Steal will premiere on Prime Video on January 21, 2026.
As the trailer opens, office drone Zara (Turner) is working for Lochmill Capital, a pension fund investment company in the heart of London; the only thing dangerous about the job is that she might get bored to death. That all changes when a coterie of armed robbers burst in; disguised in high-tech prosthetics to cloak their true identities, they demand that Zara and best pal Luke (Archie Madekwe) transfer four million pounds into their account. Despite their objections over stealing millions from innocent people, they comply. As the thieves get away, Zara and Luke's troubles are only beginning. DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd), a cop with a gambling problem, is nosing around Zara's life, the thieves are still on the loose, and MI5, Britain's national intelligence service, is entangled with the whole mess. Zara and Luke had better get to the bottom of this quickly, or they'll end up taking the fall...
