Where Was Kevin Hart’s 72 Hours Filmed? The Real Places Behind the Movie
Kevin Hart’s 72 Hours was filmed primarily on location across Atlanta and South Florida, with additional photography in Los Angeles.
Although the story plays out in Miami, cameras rolled on both coasts of the Hudson. Key scenes for 72 Hours were shot in Miami’s sleek Brickell district and on breezy Virginia Key, with additional work in New Jersey—specifically Jersey City’s Van Vorst neighborhood and the beach town of Long Branch—for extra texture and big outdoor set pieces.
Filmed on location in Miami and New Jersey.
Where they shot
- Miami — Brickell — Glassy high-rises, busy avenues, and polished restaurants stand in for the film’s high-energy city life.
- Miami — Virginia Key — Waterfront views, marinas, and wide-open beach spots give the party scenes a sun-soaked backdrop.
- Jersey City — Van Vorst — Classic brownstones and tree-lined blocks provide residential character for scenes outside the Miami glitz.
- Long Branch, New Jersey — The beaches and boardwalk area host some of the movie’s larger party sequences.
The Miami/NJ split lets the production mix shiny nightlife, coastal hangouts, and everyday neighborhoods without leaving the East Coast corridor.
The story
Kevin Hart plays Joe, a 40-year-old husband and dad who gets accidentally dropped into a bachelor-party group chat and decides to prove he can still roll with the crew. What follows is a three-day sprint through Miami that mashes office-life missteps with full-tilt bachelor-weekend chaos.
Directed by Tim Story, the comedy extends Hart’s ongoing run with Netflix, following recent projects like Lift and The Man from Toronto. The film is a Netflix release.
