Prime Video has unleashed its latest binge-worthy gem, Steal, a six-part high-octane thriller starring Sophie Turner as an ordinary office worker thrust into “the heist of the century.” This twist-filled series, blending corporate intrigue with pulse-pounding suspense, has quickly climbed streaming charts, proving once again that a mundane day can turn into chaos with the right script.
Set in the gleaming offices of Lochmill Capital, a pension fund investment company in London, Steal opens on what seems like any other workday. Employees settle in for routine tasks — until a band of masked thieves storms the building, taking everyone hostage and forcing them to follow precise orders. At the heart of the mayhem is Zara (Turner), a sharp but unassuming analyst who finds herself unexpectedly central to the robbers’ elaborate plan.
Turner, best known for Game of Thrones and X-Men, delivers a captivating performance as Zara — evolving from bewildered bystander to resourceful player in a deadly game. Opposite her is Archie Madekwe as Luke, Zara’s best friend and colleague, whose loyalty is tested amid rising stakes. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd plays DCI Rhys, a detective with a gambling addiction racing to unravel the heist while battling personal demons.
The series, created by rising British writer Ella Jones and directed by Ben A. Williams, masterfully balances tension with character depth. Each episode peels back layers of deception, revealing the thieves’ motives aren’t as simple as greed. Corporate corruption, personal vendettas, and moral gray areas collide, with twists that keep viewers guessing until the final frame.
Critics have praised its addictive pacing: The Guardian called it “a high-stakes treat that demands binge-watching,” while Variety noted Turner’s “magnetic shift from vulnerability to defiance.” The six-episode format ensures no filler — every moment propels the story forward, making it ideal for one-sitting consumption.
Steal cleverly subverts heist tropes: no glamorous Ocean’s crew here, just ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances. The confined office setting amplifies claustrophobia, while flashbacks flesh out relationships and backstories without slowing momentum.
With strong supporting turns from Nicola Coughlan, Stephen Graham, and Michelle Fairley, the ensemble adds authenticity to the corporate world’s underbelly. The soundtrack — pulsing electronic beats mixed with classical undertones — heightens the adrenaline.
For fans of Inside Man or Hijack, Steal delivers familiar thrills with fresh surprises. It’s a reminder that the biggest crimes often hide in plain sight — behind spreadsheets and coffee machines.
Now streaming all episodes on Prime Video, Steal is the twisty thriller to kick off your 2026 watchlist. Sophie Turner at the helm ensures you won’t look away — even when you probably should.
