Synopsis
Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of Contraband, a white-knuckle
action-thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked
hard to leave behind and the family he’ll do anything to protect.
Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat
underground world of international smuggling—full of desperate
criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs—where
loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away.
Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but
after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug
deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is
forced back into doing what he does best—running contraband—to
settle Andy’s debt. Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew
with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), to head to
Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills.
Things quickly fall apart and with only hours to reach the cash,
Chris must use his rusty skills to successfully navigate a
treacherous criminal network of brutal drug lords, cops and hit men
before his wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale), and sons become their
target.
