Paramount Home Entertainment announced this past week that director Jaume Balagueró’s heist thriller, The Vault, will be making its DVD debut on June 01.
Walter Moreland (Liam Cunningham — as Davos Seaworth in Game of Thrones), is by trade a salvage expert. He made the find of his life, a chest of rare gold coins dating to the 17th Century (perhaps even belonging to Sir Francis Drake), but the Spanish government seized it and now it sits in an impregnable vault in Madrid’s historic Bank of Spain complex.
What to do? What to do? Steal it back of course!!
Thus begins an impossible task, breaking into the vault, which is impossible because of its elaborate security measures — for example, if you should actually get into the vault, a floodgate is triggered and you are drowned!! And then there is Gustavo (Jose Coronado) and his security crew … he’s ruthless and tenacious and pretty much on top of any attempts to breach security.
Moreland is accustomed to taking risks and doing the impossible, so he recruits Thom (Freddie Highmore — as Norman Bates in the Bates Motel television series), a 22-year-old engineering whiz kid to solve the puzzle and then proceeds to build a rag-tag crew to carry it out. The plan revolves around the noise and chaos of the World Cup Final … will that noise and chaos, coupled with an ingenious plan be enough!!
Also added to Paramount Home Entertainment’s DVD release calendar is the July 6 multi-disc mini-series, Defending Jacob.
Adapted from writer William Landay’s 2012 novel of the same name, this eight-part series focuses on the Barber family — Andy (played by Chris Evans — Captain America: Civil War, Knives Out, Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Laurie (Michelle Dockery — perhaps best known as Lady Mary Crawley in the Downton Abbey television series) — and the terror they face when their 14-year-old son, Jacob (Jaeden Martell — Knives Out, It, It: Chapter Two), is accused of murder.
It comes down to this, Jacob is a privileged kid, who seems to lead a pretty normal life as a teenager. But one day a classmate by the name of Ben is found murdered … stabbed to death.
Here’s the problem, Jacob’s father, Andy, is the assistant district attorney assigned to the case … that could be a conflict. Although they seem to have a prime suspect, the social media mob quickly descends on Jacob as the killer, he disliked Ben, has a knife and in today’s instant social media mob world that’s all you need.
His father is steadfast in his belief that his son could not have done it, but when forensic evidence points to Jacob, it becomes a race against time to find the real killer and prove Jacob’s innocence. As things unfold, Jacob’s story — and the way he acts — even begins to build doubt in his own mother … dad holds fast, but unless more evidence is uncovered, this could end up being a parent’s worst nightmare.
Bonus goodies include deleted scenes and a pair of “behind the scenes” featurettes.
