Netflix unveils first look at The Rip with Affleck and Damon

Netflix on Monday unveiled a first look and teaser trailer for The Rip, a Miami set action thriller starring longtime collaborators Ben Affleck and Matt Damon that will debut globally on the streamer on January 16, 2026. The film follows a team of Miami police officers who, after discovering millions in cash in a derelict stash house, see trust within the unit begin to unravel as outside forces learn the size of the seizure, the official logline says.

The footage and stills introduce Affleck as Detective Sergeant J.D. Byrne and Damon as Lieutenant Dane Dumars and position the pair at the center of a morally fraught narcotics investigation. The trailer emphasizes tensions among colleagues as loyalties are tested, with supporting cast members including Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, Kyle Chandler, Néstor Carbonell and Lina Esco. In one exchange from the preview, Calle warns, "You should just take whatever money you want and walk away before this goes really bad for all of us," while Damon asks, "Do you think I'm gonna jack this rip?" Affleck replies, "I don't trust you right now, and that's a fucking problem."
