Crypto Boy movie: Netflix release date, cast, and trailer of Dutch drama film - where was it filmed?

Crypto Boy may sound like a documentary about a Bitcoin Bro, but it’s actually Netflix’s latest original movie. Netflix shared first look images of the film last month and now a trailer has been released. 

The Dutch drama lands on the streaming site this week and follows Amir, a young man whose life is ruined by a crypto scam. 

Amir, a delivery man working for his father’s burrito restaurant, has dreams of moving on to bigger and better things and becoming fabulously rich. 

After a falling out with his father over the future of the business when their rent is doubled, Amir  meets a young cryptocurrency entrepreneur and falls prey to the idea of making easy money.

Amir believes that this new crypto venture could be the answer to all of his problems and a chance to prove himself to his father - but as he becomes lost in the start-up, he drifts further from his father than ever.
