Netflix gears up for an explosive New Year with the release of Lift, a high-flying heist thriller starring Kevin Hart as the mastermind behind a daring mid-air operation. Get ready to buckle up and witness a team of skilled criminals attempt the impossible: stealing $500 million in gold from a passenger plane cruising at 40,000 feet.
Hart Leads a Stellar Cast
In the driver’s seat as Cyrus Whitaker, Hart navigates the turbulence of both the sky and the intricate heist plan. Joined by a diverse and talented crew, including Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Vincent D’Onofrio, Úrsula Corberó, Billy Magnussen, Viveik Kalra, Yun Jee Kim, Jacob Batalon, Jean Reno, and Sam Worthington, each member brings their unique expertise to the table. From technical whizzes to seasoned safecrackers, this ensemble promises a dynamic and explosive performance.
A Heist Like No Other
Forget ground-based bank robberies or museum break-ins. Lift takes things to a whole new level, literally. Confined to the metal tube hurtling through the air, the stakes have never been higher. With zero room for error and air marshals a heartbeat away, Cyrus and his team must execute their plan with razor-sharp precision and an extra dose of courage.
Directed by a Mastermind
At the helm of this sky-high heist is F. Gary Gray, the director known for action-packed blockbusters like “Fast & Furious” and “The Italian Job.” With his proven ability to deliver adrenaline-pumping sequences and thrilling twists, Gray promises to take viewers on a white-knuckled ride aboard this airborne operation.
Lift Off on January 12th
