The Rip is a 2026 American action thriller film written and directed by Joe Carnahan, who developed the story with Michael McGrale. The film stars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as police officers in the Miami-Dade Police Department narcotics unit. It also stars Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Scott Adkins, and Kyle Chandler.

The film is inspired by the true story of Miami-Dade County Police Captain Chris Casiano, and tells the story of a group of police officers who, during a raid on a hidden cash operation, find their trust broken down as team members suspect each other of trying to steal a large sum of cash.

It was released by Netflix on January 16, 2026, to generally favorable reviews from critics. The production company, Artists Equity, negotiated a first-of-its kind deal with Netflix that provides the workers involved in the production of the film with a bonus if it performs well on the streaming platform.
