Netflix has announced an upcoming movie centered around love and crypto. Kay Cannon will direct 21 Laps Entertainment's upcoming Netflix project, One Attempt Remaining. Shawn Levy is executive producing the film, and Jennifer Garner will star. According to the synopsis revealed by Netflix, the film will be a satire on the crypto world.
The plot of the movie «One Attempt Remaining»
What's on Netflix has revealed the available details about the upcoming film. «One Attempt Remaining» will follow the story of a young couple who win a small amount of cryptocurrency at a casino after they get married. Eventually, the two divorce and move on with their separate lives, but each receives SEC notices regarding an unclaimed $35 million in crypto – their small initial sum has turned into a fortune, but they must remember the password to their fund. The couple has only one attempt left to enter the correct password and 48 hours until the opportunity to claim the cryptocurrencies expires, according to Netflix. They decide to relive the night they got married and win crypto at a «craps table» to crack the password and fall in love all over again.

Netflix pokes fun at the crypto industry
With this movie, Netflix seems to be mocking the cryptocurrency industry by associating crypto with the idea of a casino. The film also absurdly references the possibility of the SEC sending messages about an «unclaimed amount» in crypto that would expire in 48 hours. Realistically speaking, even though some consider cryptocurrencies a kind of «casino», the SEC would never text people to inform them that they have an unclaimed crypto «prize». The fact that the two require a password to access the funds means that they are stored either on a hardware wallet or on an exchange – either way, the crypto funds cannot «expire». Anyway, the Netflix movie might be a good opportunity to take a break from crypto trading and have a little fun. Filming for «One Attempt Remaining» is scheduled to begin in February 2026.
