- Chris Farraday's wife's little brother tries to run a drug deal in the start of the movie. However, they get stopped and searched on the way into the port and have to drop all the drugs.
- This forces Chris to jump back into the smuggling business to repay the debt of the "stupid" younger brother and protect his family, while also putting his family at risk.
-They make it to the drop overseas, but their first shipment didn't go as planned because the counterfeit cash wasn't made correctly. Which causes Chris to travel into gang territory and complete a sting for the quality fake cash or "funny money."
- Along the way he learns that his best friend is actually behind the first deal that went sour with his cousins little brother. When we returns home... You Can Watch The Rest.

In my opinion the movie was a little lacking. Sure it had action, and a few big actors, however the plot was a little jumpy. Not that you couldn't follow the plot, yet moved a little to fast or my taste. The movie was just like watching another movie, nothing was that special about it. Critics off of RottenTomatoes agreed with my lacking of movie interest with a rating of 5.4/ 10. The fast passed begin didn't give enough background into Chris Farraday character. Supposedly he was really good at smuggling. If I were to remake the beginning I would have started with the last run of Chris career before he "retired," then flashed forward to his modern life.
All and all if your bored and looking for an action film, or just a Mark Wahlberg fan Contraband wasn't a bad movie to just pass the time.
