Originally titled ‘Colisión,’ Netflix’s ‘Collision Course’ is a Spanish crime thriller movie helmed by Daniel Sánchez Arévalo. Set during the 2013 financial crisis, the narrative centers on a group of masked and armed robbers who break into a bank in Madrid. Right after successfully robbing the bank and escaping before the police arrive, they are involved in an accident that triggers a series of unexpected events. With the Madrid authorities behind the recovering robbers, the thieves must confront other aspects of their burglaries, including betrayals and lies that could tear the group apart.
While trying to run from the clutches of justice, they are also thrust into the middle of a game of deception and survival. Featuring stellar performances from Laia Costa, Karra Elejalde, Luis Zahera, Tamar Novas, Álvaro Cervantes, and Lluís Homar, the action film is set in Madrid, with its banks, residences, the police station, and other establishments adding visual depth to the suspenseful narrative.
Collision Course Filming Locations
Production on ‘Collision Course’ was conducted entirely in Spain, particularly in and around Madrid, under the working title ‘Colisión.’ According to reports, principal photography for the Daniel Sánchez Arévalo directorial commenced in late October 2025 and continued for nearly three months before wrapping up by the last week of January 2026.
Madrid, Spain
With the tale of crime and deception unfolding in Madrid, it made sense for the makers of ‘Collision Course’ to tape all the pivotal sequences on location to add a layer of authenticity. As the capital city of Spain served as the primary production location, the filming unit set up camp in several streets and neighborhoods across Madrid, turning them into film sets to shoot action and chase sequences. The cast and crew members also utilized the exteriors and interiors of numerous establishments across the city, including a bank, restaurants, residences, and more.
Situated in the center of the Iberian Peninsula, the capital is known for its blend of modern and medieval architecture, with several landmarks and places of interest seemingly featuring in the backdrop, such as the Plaza Mayor, the Puerta de Alcalá, the Fountain of Cybele, the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Royal of the Almudena, and the Museo del Prado. Apart from ‘Collision Course,’ Madrid has hosted the production of many movies and television shows of similar genres, including ‘The Imposter,’ ‘The Day of the Beast,’ ‘Everybody Knows,’ ‘The Case of the Scorpion’s Tail,’ ‘Berlin and the Jewels of Paris,’ ‘Money Heist,’ and ‘The Final Problem.’
