- Netflix sued for $105M after Nicolas Cage WWII thriller goes missing, exposing l...
Netflix has been sued for allegedly losing an unencrypted copy of a $45 million Nicolas Cage thriller that took seven years to produce, exposing the unreleased film to potential piracy and leaks.The lawsuit, which seeks $105 million in damages, was filed by Op-Fortitude Ltd. and its owner, Swiss film producer and financier Simon Afram, who also accused Netflix of covering up the security breach.The film, Fortitude, was based on the real-life World War II Operation Fortitude, a massive Allied deception campaign designed to convince Nazi Germany that the D-Day invasion would occur elsewhere. The operation had relied on a fake army, double agents and false radio traffic.According to the lawsuit, the incident caused devastating financial losses by compromising the film's first-to-market exclusivity and distribution value, forcing the plaintiffs to temporarily pause marketing and sales efforts ahead of awards season. ‘ODYSSEY' STARS ZENDAYA, ANNE HATHAWAY AND MATT DAMON TURN HEADS AS DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN FACES BACKLASHThe complaint says test screenings projected an 82% "top-two box" audience score, meaning 82% of viewers rated the film among the two highest categories, and conservatively estimated that the movie would generate at least $112.5 million in revenue — roughly 2.5 times its production budget. In a statement to FOX Business, Netflix denied wrongdoing, arguing the movie was delivered without industry-standard safeguards such as password protection or encryption. The company also accused the plaintiffs of making "hostile attempts to extort money from Netflix over this situation." The dispute stems from a private screening Netflix reportedly requested between late 2025 and mid-2026. While the plaintiffs alleged Netflix requested an unlocked or unencrypted copy to streamline the screening process, Netflix disputed that claim, saying security safeguards are standard practice and that the filmmakers voluntarily chose to provide an unencrypted version. According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs informed Netflix both verbally and in writing that the drive was unencrypted and instructed the company to delete the files from its projection system after the screening. After an unencrypted digital master drive was delivered to Netflix's Hollywood studio on June 15, 2026, Netflix held the screening on June 16. The media giant then left the unencrypted file unattended on an office desk without basic physical or digital security controls, where it later disappeared, plaintiffs said. The lawsuit alleged Netflix concealed the breach by repeatedly postponing or ignoring requests from the plaintiffs to arrange pickup of the drive between June 17 and June 25.
