Nicolas Cage Film Theft Sparks $105 Million Netflix Suit

A producer is suing Netflix for at least $105 million, claiming a master copy of the unreleased World War II drama Fortitude was stolen from Netflix’s Hollywood studios; the suit argues the theft destroys the film’s market value and undermines buyers’ confidence. Netflix disputes liability, says it delivered the film with safeguards, has investigated the theft and monitors piracy, and accuses the filmmakers’ lawyers of attempting to extort money and refusing to share investigation details.
