Kevin Hart is back on Netflix, diving headfirst into The Drama in a new high-energy comedy titled “72 Hours”, directed by frequent collaborator Tim Story. This fresh comedy promises to blend corporate redemption with unhinged bachelor party antics, creating a perfect storm of laughs and outrageous moments.
What is “72 Hours” About?
In “72 Hours”, Hart plays a 40-year-old corporate executive whose career is on the ropes. In a last-ditch effort to win back credibility, he’s accidentally added to a twenty-something bachelor party group chat—and decides to join the wild three-day party to prove he’s still relevant. The result? An explosive 72-hour adventure where chaos meets comedy, and The Drama takes center stage.
Behind the Scenes: Creative Team and Production Details
