  1. Crooks poster

    Closest match

    Netflix · Apr 14, 2026

    Crooks

    IMDb 7.0

    Why this fits: Crooks keeps the same fast heist-thriller energy as Steal, with an ordinary life getting yanked into nonstop danger. A quiet domestic setup collapses into frantic flight and pursuit, and the family-first pressure makes every close call feel personal, even when the city widens the chaos.

    • family survival
    • flight and pursuit
  2. Red Eye poster

    Direct match

    ITVX · Jan 1, 2026

    Red Eye

    IMDb 7.1

    Why this fits: Red Eye delivers the same escalating, high-speed tension as Steal, but it rides a London detective’s case into bigger, faster-moving territory. Expect tight investigative moments that snap into airborne urgency, with danger tightening around one investigator as the plot keeps accelerating and the room-to-room suspense stays sharp.

    • british crime
    • national security
  3. The Apartment Job poster

    Direct match

    Netflix · Jul 11, 2026

    The Apartment Job

    IMDb 7.1

    Why this fits: The Apartment Job shares Steal’s momentum, where a single plan spirals into escalating criminal trouble for people who are not built for it. The dark con comedy keeps the humor close to the danger, and trust between the two leads becomes the thing that gets them hurt, making the pacing feel quicker and stranger.

    • dry situational humor
    • con artists
  4. Amsterdam Empire poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Oct 30, 2025

    Amsterdam Empire

    IMDb 6.6
    Why this fits

    Amsterdam Empire keeps the crime caper momentum going, but it’s driven by relationship revenge and infidelity fallout instead of a straightforward heist plan. If Steal’s office-worker chaos and escalating getaway are what you want, this one leans harder into family conflict and boss-employee rivalry amid glamour-grime crime.

    • glamour grime crime
    • relationship revenge
    • infidelity fallout
  5. Turn of the Tide poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Apr 10, 2026

    Turn of the Tide

    IMDb 7.4
    Why this fits

    Turn of the Tide is a slow-burn crime drama where tight-knit friends fracture under greed-fueled desperation and loyalty betrayal. If Steal’s ordinary hero danger and escalating getaway keep you watching, this pick trades high-octane action for island isolation pressure and moral erosion.

    • slow-burn crime drama
    • tight-knit friend fallout
    • ordinary lives unravel
  6. Gangs of London poster

    Deeper cut

    AMC+ · Jan 15, 2026

    Gangs of London

    IMDb 8.0
    Why this fits

    Gangs of London turns Steal’s escalating getaway into a violent power vacuum, with betrayal-heavy alliances and revenge-driven payback at the center. Expect more visceral gang warfare and deception-fueled schemes, while Steal’s office-worker chaos and action momentum feel more heist-caper focused.

    • high-octane gang warfare
    • betrayal-heavy alliances
    • revenge-driven payback
