Storyline
Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of Contraband, an action-thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked hard to leave behind and the family he'll do anything to protect. Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling - full of desperate criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs-where loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away. Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best-running contraband-to settle Andy's debt. Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), to head to Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills. Things quickly fall apart and with only hours to reach the cash... Written by Universal Pictures

You probably love watching movies. They can be very funny, sad, imaginative, inspiring, and so much more! There are so many possibilities and so many great movies to watch with family, and friends.
The big task of making a movie usually begins with a script (written by a screenwriter) that gets purchased by a movie studio or a producer. The producer is the person who is responsible for coordinating aspects of the film like the budget and scheduling. The producer plans out how the movie project will be made and usually starts by hiring a director.
In the making of a movie, the director’s job is to bring the script to life on camera. The director will usually identify themes or feelings that he or she wants the movie to convey to its audience and will then assemble all the other's who will be needed, such as costume designers, makeup artists, special effects, set designers or location scouts, stuntmen, cameramen, cinematographers (who supervise and instruct the cameramen), and, of course, actors.
Next, shooting the film begins! The actual filming can be a very slow process, often a director will want to get several “takes” or (versions) of a scene or moment and usually only the equivalent of a few minutes of the movie are finished in one full day’s work. Scenes are also usually not shot in order, so once filming is completed, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in any special effects or touch-ups.
The entire process from acquiring the script to editing the scenes generally takes months or even years! Once the film is ready, the finished movie is then distributed to many movie theatres so it can be watched and enjoyed by people like me and you.
