What is Collision Course about?
Netflix has shared the official synopsis for the film, which sets the action at the height of the financial crisis:
Set at the height of the financial crisis, the story begins when a group of robbers storms a bank in Madrid, triggering a series of unpredictable events. What initially appears to be just another robbery turns into a game of deception, fear and survival, where every decision matters, every gesture conceals something and everyone is trying to escape from more than just prison.
