Army of Thieves is a 2021 German-American heist-romantic comedy film directed by and starring Matthias Schweighöfer, produced by Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller, and written by Shay Hatten, to be released on Netflix. It is a prequel to Snyder's Army of the Dead, which was released earlier in 2021. Hans Zimmer composed the soundtrack.The story takes place across Europe six years before the events of Army of the Dead, during the beginning stages of the Las Vegas zombie outbreak. It follows German safecracker Ludwig Dieter (Schweighöfer), real name Sebastian Schlencht-Wöhnert, in his early days in that criminal field as he is hired by the mysterious thief known as Gwendoline Starr to pull off a series of heists with the help of a misfit crew of accomplished thieves. The targets that will put Dieter's skills to the test are three nigh-unopenable safes conceived by legendary locksmith Hans Wagner. All three are named after operas from Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung.The film also stars Nathalie Emmanuel as Gwendoline, Guz Khan as Rolph, Ruby O. Fee as Korina, Stuart Martin as Brad Cage, Jonathan Cohen as Delacroix and Noémie Nakai as Beatrix. It was released worldwide on October 29, 2021.Previews: Teaser, Trailer. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| Army of Thieves / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: Korina was responsible for a leak of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest many years prior to the film. This appears to be based on an incident involving a later film in the same series, where hackers threatened to release the film online in sections unless they were paid a ransom by Disney. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Army of Thieves / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: From a zombie action/horror flick to The Caper with Romantic Comedy elements. While the Zombie Apocalypse of the original film is happening and the war to contain it is raging, this film is set on a separate continent that's unaffected by it and thus the zombies only appear in news reports and Dieter's nightmares. | |

Eiffel Tower Effect: There's a scene set in Paris, and sure enough, it shows the Eiffel Tower. The wide view on Prague, where the Vyšehrad Bridge, the Charles Bridge and the St. Vitus Cathedral within the Prague Castle can be seen. The freight train Sebastian climbs onto to escape the police crosses the Vyšehrad Bridge later on. | |

Failed a Spot Check: After Sebastian avoids being arrested after being betrayed by Cage he returns to his appartment. He is despondent and only wants to clean himself up. As he heads to the bathroom he completely missed the fact that Gwendoline and Korina are sitting at his kitchen table. They are so perplexed by the fact that he has completely missed their presence that they end up shouting "Suprise!" to get his attention. | |

Unfolding Plan Montage: Double Subverted during the Rheingold heist. A nervous Sebastian is walked through the plan to get into the vault by Gwendoline, which is depicted as a voice over atop the actual events. After the team leaves with the loot, the scene suddenly cuts to Sebastian inside their van, asking if it is really going to be that easy, implying the entire sequence was an Imagine Spot, until a perplexed Gwendoline tells him "We already did it", and Sebastian looks down to see his arms full of banknotes. Apparently his brain just needed a few seconds to catch up with his first robbery. | |

| Army of Thieves / int_2c9e262 | comment |
Catapult Nightmare: Sebastian had two nightmares about zombies with both acting as a Call-Forward to Army of the Dead and his eventual death, which Korina actually suggests along with saying it might be representative of his feelings of inadequacy and inability to be the strong action hero able to fight the zombies while Gwendoline suggests the more mundane idea that they are caused by the rational fear of the zombie outbreak. | |

Glory Seeker | |
| Army of Thieves / int_3be94971 | comment |
Glory Seeker: Sebastian/Dieter seems more interested in the fact that he'll get to try safecracking the Ring Cycle safes of the legendary Hans Wagner than in the money that's in them. Gwendoline similarly cares more about cracking these specific safes for the notoriety of doing so as opposed to the cash haul, which is hardly any more significant than what they could make knocking over a more mundane bank. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The team succeeds at robbing all three safes and become criminal legends. However, everyone except Sebastian are arrested and face very long prison sentences. Sebastian is forced to flee to the US and assume the identity of Ludwig Dieter. There he will be recruited by Scott Ward for the ill-fated Las Vegas heist. It also makes the ending of Army of the Dead even more bitter/downer since Sebastian/Dieter and Gwendoline will never see each other again. | |

Hollywood Density: Averted here. Sebastian notes that even the smallest bank has way more cash than they can realistically transport.

Once More, with Clarity: Delacroix arrives too late at the Swiss bank to prevent the Siegfried heist. It's revealed that Korina actually called the bank earlier while impersonating an Interpol officer, advising them to move the safe, and Gwendoline and Sebastian stole the truck that was to move the safe away. Plus, Korina faked radio transmissions to fool Delacroix's communications expert. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Army of Thieves / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Several to Army of the Dead: The Las Vegas zombie outbreak is referenced in the news, with images of it on TV. The Wagner safes the team has to bust open belong to Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada), the billionaire who will plan the Las Vegas heist. There's also a photo of him. Speaking of Tanaka, there's another "Bly's" casino, this time in Switzerland. The film ends with a scene from Army of the Dead, where Sebastian (now named "Ludwig Dieter") was first introduced in Army of the Dead, with Scott Ward (Dave Bautista) and Maria Cruz (Ana de la Reguera) recruiting him for the Vegas job at his locksmith shop (which is named "Gwendoline", for reasons that are now obvious), and bringing him the blueprints for the last of Hans Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung safes, the Götterdämmerung. There is both Stock Footage from Army of the Dead and unused takes from that film. | |

Standard Snippet | |
| Army of Thieves / int_a3f1531b | comment |
Standard Snippet: While safecracking all three safes named after operas from Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung tetralogy, Sebastian/Dieter has excerpts from the operas play on his phone: Rheingold gets "Ihr Andern Harrt Bis Abend Hier" (the descent of Wotan and Loge to Nibelheim). Walküre gets, naturally, "Walkürenritt" (the Ride of the Valkyries). Siegfried gets the "Finale" of its namesake opera (Siegfried wakes the Valkyrie Brünnhilde up from her magical sleep, and the two start their romance). | |

Shout-Out | |
| Army of Thieves / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The three safes the team has to open are named Rheingold, Walküre and Siegfried. All are the titles of the first three operas of Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung tetralogy. The fourth safe (named after the fourth and final opera of the tetralogy), Götterdämmerung, is the target of the Las Vegas heist in Army of the Dead. And the guy who built them is named Hans Wagner, because of course. Brad Cage's Richard Nixon mask during the second heist is a homage to Point Break. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Army of Thieves / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: The heist plan depends on the fact that the safes are considered to be uncrackable and everyone assumes that professional thieves would go after easier targets. No one expects a group of thieves to try to crack all three of them in succession within a few days of each other. The Siegfried heist runs almost purely on audacity since the target is on high alert and the team has lost most of its resources. They rely on the fact that Interpol believes the safe will be moved at 5 AM, but the thieves stole the whole thing 90 minutes previously. | |

Unfortunately, Delacroix has a personal vendetta against the team and is paying attention. | |
