Building on its library of popular heist films and television series, which includes titles like Red Notice, Money Heist, and Army of Thieves, Netflix keeps releasing intriguing heist films and series. The action-comedy Lift, starring Kevin Hart, is the most recent work in this genre. Lift, directed by F. Gary Gary, a renowned action-thriller maestro, and written by Daniel Kunka, the author of 12 Rounds, seems to be another thrilling addition to Netflix’s heist library.
Cyrus Whitaker, a skilled team leader of an international theft, is central to the plot of Lift. To carry out a risky operation of stealing $500 million worth of gold from a jet that is flying more than 40,000 feet above the ground, Cyrus gathers a squad of robbers with similar goals in mind. As Cyrus and his crew work against the clock to complete the robbery before the gold ends up in the wrong hands, the stakes are very high.
A variety of well-known faces are included in the cast of Lift, which also introduces viewers to some fresh talent. Kevin Hart is in charge of the group, with assistance from Sam Worthington from Avatar, Vincent D’Onofrio from Daredevil, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw from Surface. Lift promises an enjoyable voyage with this amazing group, allowing fans to get to know each member and their personality.
Cyrus Whitaker is the astute tactician in charge of the Lift team’s activities. Kevin Hart, a gifted comedian and movie star, plays Cyrus, a man who unwillingly agrees to take part in one final government-approved theft. Kevin Hart was born on July 6, 1979, and as of January 2024, he was 44 years old. He has become well-known in the entertainment sector. Hart began his varied career in television and cinema with a successful transfer from the stand-up comedy tour to television with his role in the Judd Apatow sitcom Undeclared.
