Kevin Hart's new R-rated comedy, "72 Hours," is set to stream exclusively on Netflix starting July 24, 2026. Directed by Tim Story, the film follows Hart as Joe, a 40-year-old advertising executive whose career is in jeopardy. Joe sees an accidental invitation to a bachelor party group chat for a group of twentysomethings as an opportunity to reconnect with youth culture and boost his failing career. He decides to crash the three-day Miami bachelor party, leading to a chaotic and wild escapade.
The film boasts a notable cast alongside Hart. Marcello Hernández from "Saturday Night Live" plays Nick, the groom, while other "SNL" cast members Ben Marshall and Kam Patterson also feature. Mason Gooding, Teyana Taylor, Zach Cherry, Mike Epps, Andy Garcia, and Michael Mando round out the ensemble. This marks another collaboration between Kevin Hart and director Tim Story, who previously worked together on comedies like "Think Like a Man" and "Ride Along."
Hart, Story, and a team of producers including John Davis, Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, Josh Heald, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Bryan Smiley, and Will Packer are behind the project. The movie, which has a runtime of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, aims to deliver a "big, broad, crazy comedy" as described by Ben Marshall. "72 Hours" addresses themes of generational clash and the sometimes-awkward pursuit of staying relevant, promising a humorous and over-the-top look at a middle-aged man trying to fit in with Gen Z.
