Ben Affleck heads the cast of Netflix’s new adrenaline-fuelled thriller about five former Special Forces operatives who reunite to carry out a highly dangerous heist in South America.

Their plan is to steal $75million from the heavily fortified home of a notorious drug lord, and bring him down in the process.

The band of brothers have not seen each other for several years and, as they struggle with life after the military, each has their own reason for wanting the money. But when things don’t go according to plan, tensions inevitably rise and the bond of trust is tested.

TV&Satellite Week caught up with Affleck, 46, to find out more about the action drama…

What appealed to you about Triple Frontier?

It’s an interesting story because you don’t know whether to root for these guys or not. They get tempted by this job where they have the potential to make a lot of money and they also feel like they’re doing something good, but is it good?

And what is it that drives your character, Tom Davis?

He’s divorced from his wife and they have a teenage daughter. He has a lot of frustration at not being able to provide for his family in the way that he really wants to do.
