A new trailer for ‘Triple Frontier’, a new action film from Netflix, has been released. ‘Triple Frontier’ stars an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Garret Hedlund, Charlie Hunnam and Pedro Pascal, and tells the story of an elite team of military vets who band together to steal from a notorious drug lord.

The trailer shows Affleck’s character rounding up the team with promises of great riches, and their mission in Mexico. The robbery goes wrong and the team ends up with more money than they’d expected, trapped in hostile territory with no way out.

‘Triple Frontier’ is the latest major push by the streaming giant that has been backed by star involvement. Previously Netflix had produced the Will Smith-starrer Bright, Sandra Bullock’s ‘Bird Box’ and Brad Pitt’s ‘War Machine’, in addition to a string of critically acclaimed hits in the last few months that include the Oscar nominated ‘Roma’ and the ‘Ballad of Buster Scruggs’.

‘Triple Frontier’ is directed by the Oscar nominated ‘Margin Call’ and ‘A Most Violent Year’ director JC Chandor, and written by the Oscar winning Mark Boal (‘The Hurt Locker’ and ‘Zero Dark Thirty’).

The film arrives in select US theatres and on Netflix on March 15.
