Netflix’s “The Take,” the heist thriller previously titled “Here Comes the Flood,” opens in select theaters and premieres on Netflix on Jan. 15, 2027. Academy Award winner Denzel Washington stars alongside Robert Pattinson and Daisy Edgar-Jones. Academy Award nominee Fernando Meirelles (“City of God,” “The Two Popes”) directs from a script by Academy Award nominee Simon Kinberg (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith”).

Charismatic master thief Christian Carter (Washington) recruits him for the score of a lifetime: robbing the richest bank in Manhattan. The plan has one complication. Noah’s girlfriend, Rose (Edgar-Jones), works at the bank as a teller. With time and love on the line, Noah has to figure out whom he can trust if he wants to make it out alive.
Danai Gurira, Sean Harris, Moisés Arias and Justin Kirk round out the cast. Kinberg produces through his Genre Films banner with Audrey Chon and Meirelles. Production ran in New Jersey from September 2025 through January 2026. The film is Washington’s and Edgar-Jones’ first Netflix original.
