This site was created due to curiosity about and a desire to create secret stashes. This desire is shared by a number of people, but since the topic is inherently about secrecy, it doesn’t get discussed much.
That said, we are constantly bombarded with the concept. I’ve put the list below together to show a small number of the movies that include secret compartments, passages, rooms and safes in their stories.
