| Contraband: Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of Contraband, an 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. |
