Gary Gray, known for his work on blockbuster hits like “Straight Outta Compton” and “The Fate of the Furious,” this action-packed heist film stars a stellar cast including Kevin Hart, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Úrsula Corberó.
In “Lift,” a band of expert criminals, led by the charismatic Cyrus Whitaker played by Kevin Hart, is recruited for a seemingly simple task – robbing the rich.
