Samuel L. Jackson and Anthony Mackie star as Joe Morris and Bernard Garrett, two revolutionary businessmen who developed a risky plan to help African Americans pursue wealth and happiness in the 1960’s. Although smart and capable black men living in the 60s, their characters, Morris and Garrett, are unable to complete their plan. They enlisted a working-class white man named Matt Steiner played by Nicholas Hoult to serve as the front for their burgeoning real estate and banking empire.
