Netflix has lined up a heavyweight crime thriller for early 2026. The film, titled The Rip, features longtime collaborators Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in leading roles. They reunite once again under the banner of their artist-led production studio, Artists Equity. The gripping drama, directed by Joe Carnahan, is set in Miami.
It follows a group of police officers who stumble upon a hidden stash of cash during a routine raid. The movie’s logline reads, “Upon discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house, trust among a team of Miami cops begins to fray. As outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything is called into question — including who they can rely on.”
Ben Affleck Leads The Film As A Miami Cop
Ben Affleck’s lead role in the film is confirmed, but specific details about his character have not yet been revealed. The star will likely be the movie’s main protagonist, playing a Miami cop. His character is named Det Sgt. JD Byrne.

Matt Damon Plays The Parallel Lead, Also A Miami Cop
In this movie, Matt Damon co-stars with his Good Will Hunting mate, Ben Affleck. However, just like Affleck, details about Damon’s role have not been revealed, although chances are high that the actor may end up as the second in command in the project. He is reportedly playing Lieutenant Dane Dumars.
