    Here's a wildly imaginative magazine cover. I can't blame the artist, it's so obviously not an attempt to be realistic. But it's kind of humorous.

    The second vertical line is missing. Not realistic indeed.

    A few Dollars for Django. Spaghetti western from 1966. About 4 minutes into the movie.

    Bramah lock and a four dial combination lock?

    Looks classic French, a lot of makers made that style, if you do an Internet search for 'coffre fort ancien' you'll see loads of them.
    It's unlikely a Bramah lock, more likely one of the typical French star profiled keys like Fichet's or Bauche's which operate a similar type of lock cylinder but have radial 'levers' instead of slides.

    Default 11 Harrowhouse

    11 Harrowhouse is a 1974 diamond-heist movie in which a large quantity of diamonds is stolen from an impressive-looking vault. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11_Harrowhouse and the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL5BtxwdTnU

    The vault is very elaborate and very Hollywood, and unlike any real world vault (as far as we know, of course).

    Default Minions Vault

    I don't believe this image was in any of the Despicable Me movies. It is probably just more marketing for them, and clearly a Hollywood door.

    Neither of those tragedies strike me as 'music', or a 'safe'
