While 72 Hours is set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami, the production stretched far beyond South Florida. Filmed on location in Miami and New Jersey, it gives a lively feel to the Netflix comedy. Several sets were used to make the movie more enjoyable and give life to the comedic adventure.
The movie is set in Miami, and therefore the production concentrated on two locations that capture the colorful essence of the city. Brickell demonstrates the city’s energy with its skyscrapers, bustling streets, and high-end restaurants. Meanwhile, Virginia Key offers the seaside charm of the city with its waterfronts, marinas, and open spaces.

The production then moved out to New Jersey to recreate several settings from throughout the film. Jersey City's Van Vorst neighborhood added character with its classic architecture, tree-lined streets, and residential atmosphere. The crew also filmed in Long Branch, where the beaches, boardwalk, and waterfront areas served as the backdrop for the movie's party scenes.
Beyond its eye-catching locations, the film centers on a humorous premise that throws its lead character into an unforgettable weekend of chaos and self-discovery.
