Prime Video’s Steal Shoves Sophie Turner Into a Ruthless Pension Fund Heist — And the Trailer Goes for the Jugular

Prime Video is clearly not interested in easing Sophie Turner back onto our screens. Instead, the streamer throws her headfirst into chaos with Steal, a tense new heist thriller that proudly bills itself as “the heist of the century.” Judging by the newly released trailer, this isn’t a slick, Ocean’s Eleven-style caper with charming criminals and witty banter. Steal is colder, sharper, and far more anxious and Turner looks right at home in the pressure cooker.
The six-episode series centers on Zara (Turner), an ordinary employee at a London pension fund whose workday spirals into a nightmare when armed criminals storm the building. What begins as a robbery quickly escalates into something far more calculated: a coordinated attempt to siphon off billions in pension money. Yes, the savings of everyday people. Nothing raises the stakes quite like financial terror wrapped in fluorescent office lighting.
The Steal trailer wastes no time establishing its tone. Phones are confiscated, exits are blocked, and Zara is singled out for reasons that become increasingly ominous as the footage unfolds. Turner plays her as sharp, shaken, and quietly furious, a welcome pivot from epic fantasy to modern paranoia. There’s a constant sense that Zara knows more than she’s saying, or at least that she’s learning very fast how dangerous competence can be.
Supporting players add muscle to the premise. Archie Madekwe appears as Luke, another employee dragged into the criminals’ plans, while Jacob Fortune-Lloyd’s determined detective brings the outside pressure that every good heist story needs. The cat-and-mouse tension between law enforcement and the unseen puppet masters hints that Steal is less about guns blazing and more about leverage, manipulation, and morally ugly decisions.
Visually, Steal leans into claustrophobia. Tight shots, sterile office spaces, and a relentless ticking-clock energy give the trailer a stripped-down intensity. This isn’t glam crime, it’s the kind that makes you nervous about checking your retirement account.
Prime Video has been quietly stacking its thriller slate, and Steal looks poised to join that growing list of binge-worthy anxiety machines. Sophie Turner’s post-Game of Thrones evolution continues, and if the full series matches the trailer’s bite, viewers may be in for a bleak, gripping ride when all six episodes drop on January 21.
The heist of the century? That might be marketing bravado. But Steal looks sharp enough to make us believe it and nervous enough to hit play immediately.
