Description

In Contraband, former smuggler Chris Farraday has left crime behind for a life with his wife and sons, but a drug lord's threat pulls him back into the trade. To settle his brother-in-law's debt, Chris assembles a crew for a dangerous Panama run while pressure closes in on his family at home.

Baltasar Kormákur directed Aaron Guzikowski's screenplay, with Mark Wahlberg, Kate Beckinsale, Ben Foster, Giovanni Ribisi, Diego Luna and J.K. Simmons in the cast. Netflix currently carries the film on its exact U.S. title page, which identifies the 2012 R-rated action film and provides its synopsis, cast, audio and subtitle details.
