See the films the platforms disagree about most →In the 1960s, two ambitious African American entrepreneurs devise a daring business plan to overcome racial barriers. They train a working-class white man to act as the face of their growing real estate and banking empire while they pose as a janitor and a chauffeur. Their success challenges the discriminatory lending practices of the time, but they must constantly maintain their elaborate ruse while navigating the pervasive prejudices of the era.
