Money Heist: The Global Phenomenon
Money Heist (Spanish: La casa de papel, lit. "The House of Paper") is a Spanish heist crime drama television series created by Álex Pina. The series traces two long-prepared heists led by the Professor (Álvaro Morte), one on the Royal Mint of Spain, and one on the Bank of Spain, told from the perspective of one of the robbers, Tokyo (Úrsula Corberó). The narrative is told in a real-time-like fashion and relies on flashbacks, time-jumps, hidden character motivations, and an unreliable narrator for complexity.
Money Heist was originally released on the Spanish television network Antena 3 in 2017. The series was initially canceled after two seasons due to low ratings, but was picked up by Netflix in 2019. Money Heist quickly became a global phenomenon on Netflix, becoming one of the most-watched non-English-language series of all time. The series was praised for its complex characters, suspenseful plot, and social commentary.
The first season of Money Heist follows a group of eight robbers who break into the Royal Mint of Spain in an attempt to steal €2.4 billion. The robbers are led by the Professor, a mysterious and meticulous criminal mastermind. The Professor has carefully planned the heist for months, and has recruited a team of robbers with unique skills and abilities to carry it out.
The robbers break into the mint and take over the building, taking hostages and printing their own money. The police surround the mint and begin negotiations with the robbers, but the Professor is always one step ahead. The heist is complicated by the relationships that develop between the robbers and the hostages, as well as by the internal conflicts within the team.
The second season of Money Heist follows the robbers as they attempt to escape from the mint with their stolen money. The police have closed in on the robbers, and the stakes are higher than ever. The robbers must use all of their skills and cunning to evade the police and escape with their lives.
The third season of Money Heist jumps ahead in time to five years after the events of the second season. The robbers have scattered around the world, and are living under new identities. However, the Professor reunites the team for another heist, this time targeting the Bank of Spain.
The fourth season of Money Heist follows the robbers as they carry out their heist on the Bank of Spain. The heist is even more complex and dangerous than the first one, and the robbers face new challenges and obstacles. The Professor is also forced to confront his past, and the team is put to the test in new ways.
