To protect his brother-in-law from a drug lord, a former smuggler
heads to Panama to score millions of dollars in counterfeit bills.
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.
