Netflix is being sued for a whopping $105 million after losing an unencrypted copy of an unreleased World War II film starring Nicolas Cage and Ben Kingsley.
The film, titled Fortitude, was written and co-produced by Swiss businessman Simon Afram, who spent $45 million to get it made.
We’ve been working through this with our security teams to no luck,” Sean Berney, director of original film at Netflix, told Variety.
The suit argues Netflix was responsible for storing the film copy in a secure location where it could not be accessed by unauthorized parties or stolen.
“Netflix disputes any claim that it bears the risk of loss for a film delivered without the proper industry-standard safeguards,” Netflix shared.
