Lennox International (heating/cooling) has an advertisement using a vault door. "...we used a team of artists and muralists to transform a home into a money-saving vault." For a Hollywood rendition it's not too bad but they did get a few things wrong.

On the outside view, the hand wheel is shown to retract the pressure bars which is not how they work. On the inside view it's reasonably close to something that could work. The pinions (small gears) are very large but could operate as shown. I believe the gearing shows 24 bolts, a traditional number, but the actual bolt protrusions don't line up! It looks like there might be 20 or 22 bolts around the outside which is not possible if there are 24 inside the support ring.
The ad can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHdrZc1qY-s

This one is merely Hollywood-ish. There is a bar simply called Vault in the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai (http://www.jwmarriottmarquisdubailife.com/dining/vault), on the 71st and 72nd floors. While this two-piece door is rather pretty to look at, it's clearly a polished fabrication.

A poor attempt to draw a vault door, but not surprising; this is from a comic book.

A TV commercial from Old Dominion Freight features truck trailers with vault doors installed (plus the trailers can spin around!).

I simply see trailers that will tip over onto their sides even standing still. At least they are pretty reasonable, as if the animator did some decent research first.

I enjoyed the movie The Italian Job where they break into the safe, old school way how they just listen to the dial and try to break it open it that way. Can you actually break into like that now of days? Because that seems crazy how she did it. It was just really exciting and good movie. :(y):

It is a skill that takes a great deal of practice. Once one learns it is something that some can open almost any safe with. But there are many systems out there that help prevent or slow this skill. In the trade there are few that can do this well. I know of 5 (in the USA) myself that can do it. I have taken classes and know what it takes but I am not good at it.

Now You See Me is an entertaining movie about magic/illusion. The first big illusion is robbing a bank in France by "teleporting" an audience member into the vault. Of course the vault is very flashy and Hollywood-ish but the door is a reasonable facsimile of a real one (ignoring that 20 bolts is an unusual number) --

Immediately after, in France, the real vault is found to be empty --
