Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are facing legal trouble over their Netflix crime drama The Rip.
Miami police filed a lawsuit, claiming the film damaged their reputation.
The film, released in January under Damon and Affleck’s production company Artists Equity, is inspired by the 2016 Miami Lakes drug bust.
The case involved a major police operation that led to the seizure of more than $24 million in cash.
Police officers involved in the real-life operation now say the film gives a false and unfair picture of what happened.
According to the lawsuit reported by local media, they claim the film portrays them as corrupt and dishonest.
Detective Jonathan Santana, who led the original case, said the film has changed how people see him.
He explained that instead of being respected for his work, he now faces jokes and accusations from the public about stealing money.
The lawsuit claims the film contains fabricated scenes showing officers behaving illegally, working with criminals and considering taking seized cash for themselves.
The officers say this has caused lasting damage to their reputation.
Their lawyer also argued that the characters in the film were equally “filthy” and unfairly tarnished their clients’ names.
The Rip, which also stars Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Scott Adkins and Steven Yeun, continues to face criticism for its portrayal of real events and the city where the raid originally took place.
