The George Westinghouse Bridge – the 1930s reinforced concrete arch bridge spanning Turtle Creek and the Pennsylvania Railroad in North Versailles Township – was used as a filming location.
Downtown Pittsburgh provided the film's primary urban action environment. Production took place on Smithfield Street, Montour Way, Sixth Avenue and in local parking garages – with Smithfield Street appearing prominently in the trailer as the location for police chase and stunt driving sequences. Production crews set up on July 1, 2025, along Babcock Boulevard as well.

Two of Pittsburgh's most iconic bridges were temporarily closed for filming. The Roberto Clemente Bridge – the 1928 self-anchored suspension bridge connecting downtown to the North Shore, one of the three sister bridges on the Allegheny River – and the 16th Street Bridge were both used for production sequences.
The elegant Carnegie Music Hall at 4400 Forbes Avenue was a major filming site. Its massive gilded interior, marble pillars and historic architecture added formal visual grandeur to the film. Equipment and crew setups were also spotted along Bellefield Avenue in Oakland.
At the end of July, the crew moved to McCandless in the North Hills, filming at SSB Bank along Perry Highway. Monday's shoot – confirmed by local residents who spotted the crew – took the production into the suburban North Hills communities north of the city.
How to Rob a Bank opens in theatres on November 13, 2026.
