help Triple Frontier (2019) FAQ
Is Triple Frontier streaming on Netflix or in theaters?
It's a Netflix original — it premiered worldwide on the platform in March 2019 after a brief theatrical run. If you have a Netflix subscription, it's included at no extra cost.
Who stars in Triple Frontier and who directed it?
The five leads are Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Pedro Pascal, Charlie Hunnam, and Garrett Hedlund as the ex-Delta/SEAL-types. It was directed by J.C. Chandor from a script he co-wrote with Mark Boal, the Oscar-winning writer of The Hurt Locker.
Is Triple Frontier based on a true story?
No — the drug lord Lorea and the robbery plot are fictional, though the military tradecraft feels authentic because Boal is known for heavily researched stories like The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. The project sat in development for years, with Kathryn Bigelow attached to direct at one point, before Chandor took over.
Why did they lose all the money at the end of Triple Frontier?
Their overloaded helicopter crashes in the Andes, and to get airborne again they're forced to dump nearly all of Lorea's cash over a cliff and hike out through hostile territory. Each man ends up keeping only a small fraction of the haul, which is the film's whole point about greed.
