Inspired by true events and set in 1963, the movie involves revolutionary businessmen Bernard Garrett (played by Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (interpreted by one and only Samuel L. Jackson), who devise a risky plan to take on the racially oppressive establishment of the 1960s by helping other African Americans pursue the American dream.
Here’s Apple’s description:
Along with Garrett’s wife Eunice (Nia Long), they train a working class white man, Matt Steiner (Nicholas Hoult), to pose as the rich and privileged face of their burgeoning real estate and banking empire – while Garrett and Morris pose as a janitor and a chauffeur. Their success ultimately draws the attention of the federal government, which threatens everything the four have built.
