Netflix announces a movie tied to a $35 million crypto wallet

2025/12/13 17:16

The new Netflix comedy movie “One Last Attempt” is about a forgotten password to a crypto wallet with $35 million in it. The release date has not yet been confirmed. The romantic comedy is about a divorced couple who are seeking to get back the million-dollar crypto fortune they used to share.

In the brief synopsis released by the streaming service on Thursday, the divorcees won the crypto assets during a cruise competition but fell out and forgot the wallet’s password. The couple will receive a notice from the US Securities and Exchange Commission informing them they have just 48 hours to recover the $35 million before the claim expires. 

Hollywood actor Jennifer Garner is one of the main characters and producers of the film, working alongside Shawn Levy, Dan Levine of 21 Laps, and Nicole King of Linden Productions. Her first breakout came through the action spy series “Alias” in the early 2000s, but she later transitioned into romantic comedies and dramas, including “13 Going on 30” and “Juno.”

Netflix romcom inspired by real-life lost password cases

Netflix’s ‘One Last Attempt’ premise is similar to real-life cases where crypto investors lost access to vast sums due to forgotten credentials or discarded storage devices. An example is Stefan Thomas, a former Ripple chief technology officer, who lost access to an IronKey hard drive containing 7,002 Bitcoins deposited in 2011. At the time of publication, that stash was valued at roughly $640 million. 

According to Thomas, the device permanently erases its contents after 10 incorrect password attempts, and Thomas publicly stated he had already used eight attempts. As of December, the former Ripple developer has not yet revealed if he has ever regained access to the funds.

Another tale belongs to James Howells, an IT worker from Wales who mined Bitcoin in its early days. In 2010, Howells used his personal laptop to mine around 8,000 coins now worth over $700 million, according to Arkham Intelligence data. Three years later, during a routine clean-up, his wife accidentally discarded the hard drive containing the private keys.

Even after his repeated efforts to obtain permission from Newport City Council to excavate the site, including an offer to share a substantial portion of the recovered bitcoin, Howells was denied access. 

Netflix adds ‘One Last Attempt’ to crypto movies lineup

Crypto and blockchain stories have appeared in popular culture over the past 15 years, but they have mostly been about crimes or scandals. Some featured titles include the 2020 action film “Money Plane” and the 2022 documentary “Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King,” which involved the collapse of the QuadrigaCX exchange. 

In 2024, Netflix released “Biggest Heist Ever,” a documentary detailing the $4.5 billion bitcoin laundering case involving Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein and Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan. The film showed how the couple attempted to hide the origins of the Bitcoin stolen during the 2016 hack of Hong Kong-based exchange Bitfinex, where 120,000 Bitcoin were taken.

As reported by Cryptopolitan, US authorities arrested Morgan and Lichtenstein in 2022 after a warrant was issued by New York police, and the Department of Justice charged them with conspiracy to launder the stolen funds. 

33-year-old Morgan was an entrepreneur and aspiring rapper from Chico, California, while her husband Lichtenstein, originally from Glenview, Illinois, was a tech enthusiast with interests in blockchain and automation with a psychology degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
