We consider the Plateau problem and the corresponding free boundary problem for finite‐dimensional surfaces in possibly infinite‐dimensional Banach spaces. For a large class of duals and, in particular, for reflexive spaces, we establish the general solvability of these problems in terms of currents. As an auxiliary result, we prove a new compactness theorem for currents in dual spaces, which in turn relies on a fine analysis of the w*‐topology.
