Netflix teases comedy movie about missing $35M crypto password

Cointelegraph
Netflix is producing a comedy film, "One Attempt Remaining," about a divorced couple trying to access $35 million in forgotten cryptocurrency.

Summary

Netflix announced a new comedy movie titled "One Attempt Remaining," starring Jennifer Garner, which centers on a divorced couple who discover the cryptocurrency they won together is now worth millions, but they have forgotten the password. The plot involves the couple having only 48 hours to retrieve $35 million from the wallet before a claim expires, following a notice from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This premise mirrors real-life crypto security dilemmas, such as that of Stefan Thomas, the former Ripple CTO, who is locked out of 7,002 Bitcoin on a drive that allows only 10 incorrect password attempts, and James Howells, who lost a drive containing 8,000 BTC in a landfill. While crypto has appeared in media, it is rarely the central focus of a feature film.
