What to Know About Kevin Hart’s Action Heist Comedy Film Lift?
According to Netflix, Lift is an action comedy that follows the story of an international heist crew led by Cyrus Whitaker played by Kevin Hart, who races to lift $500 million in gold from a passenger plane at 40,000 feet to prevent a terrorist attack.
The film was initially slated to be released in the summer of 2023, but due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, it was delayed by five months.
Kevin Hart, who has the desire in his mind to become the next big action hero in Hollywood jokingly told Games Radar:
“I just wanna say, for the record, I wanted to do all the stunts really in the sky because of my stunt background, which I’m sure you’re aware of.”
“I didn’t want to use wires. Because of [the other actors] and their needs I said OK and I’ll get on the wire. If it had been just me, I would’ve done it in the same manner as Tom Cruise approached his work.”
Lift is streaming on Netflix from January 12.
