Netflix is facing a $105 million lawsuit after an unencrypted copy of the World War II film "Fortitude" was reportedly lost. The legal action was filed by producer Simon Afram, according to Variety.
The case centers on "Fortitude," a WWII movie that stars Nicolas Cage and Ben Kingsley. Based on the report, Afram alleges that Netflix lost a copy of the film, triggering a major dispute over handling and security of the project.
The mention that the copy was unencrypted is likely to draw attention because it raises questions about how sensitive film materials were stored and managed. While the trimmed report does not include Netflix's response, the claim adds another legal challenge tied to content protection and distribution practices.
Because the article excerpt is limited, many details of the complaint are not yet clear from the available text alone. What is clear is that the lawsuit puts Netflix at the center of a high-value fight involving a war film, a producer's alleged losses, and a project connected to two well-known actors.
