Producers of the unreleased Nicolas Cage war thriller 'Fortitude' have filed a $105 million lawsuit against Netflix. The suit alleges that Netflix mishandled a stolen hard drive containing the film, which has subsequently compromised its sale and investment prospects. The producers claim that Netflix's actions constitute a breach of contract and negligence, leading to significant financial damages.
The core of the lawsuit revolves around a hard drive that was reportedly stolen, containing the entirety of the film 'Fortitude.'
