New Look At Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in The Rip

The Rip (2026, Joe Carnahan, Netflix)

The Rip follows a team of Miami police officers who uncover millions of dollars in cash inside a derelict stash house. As Matt Damon explained at TUDUM, protocol requires the money to be counted on-site so everyone involved knows exactly how much has been found. The implication is immediate: the cash almost certainly belongs to a cartel, and whoever owns it is likely to come looking for it. With no easy exit, the team is forced to secure their position and make decisions under growing pressure.

The discovery quickly alters the dynamics within the group. What begins as a procedural situation turns into something more unstable as the size of the seizure becomes known. According to Ben Affleck, the film is driven by practical and moral questions: how people respond to temptation, what it means to be faced with that kind of money up close, and who can still be trusted once the stakes are clear.

The Rip (2026, Joe Carnahan, Netflix)

Directed and written by Joe Carnahan (The Grey), with the story developed by Carnahan and Michael McGrale, The Rip focuses less on spectacle and more on character. As outside forces close in, trust among the officers begins to fray, and every decision carries consequences. The tension comes from uncertainty - not just about external threats, but about the people standing in the same room.

The film is produced by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Dani Bernfeld, and Luciana Damon, with executive producers Kevin Halloran and Michael Joe for Artists Equity. The cast includes Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, and Catalina Sandino Moreno, alongside Scott Adkins and Kyle Chandler.
