Related titles
- La Casa de Papel: A later television series that was likely inspired by the film, following a similar premise of an elaborate heist involving a hostage situation and the leader of the robbers matching wits with the police negotiator. Some elements of the two heists also resemble each other, like having the hostages wear the same clothes as the robbers to confuse the police.
