Amsterdam gained media attention for its sizeable, star-studded cast. Its most notable faces include Margot Robbie, Christian Bale, John David Washington, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Saldaña, Rami Malek, Taylor Swift, Robert De Niro, and many others.
As 20th Century Studios describes it, Amsterdam will follow “three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.” Furthermore, the studio advertises it as a “fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction for a timely, cinematic experience.”
Beyond that beautiful—yet vague—description, the trailer revealed some essential plot points. Firstly, the trailer opens on a corpse in a makeshift box and Chris Rock’s stunned expression. As Robert De Niro teases in the trailer, “My friend was killed because of something monstrous that he had seen.” Now, a nurse (Margot Robbie) and two veterans (Christian Bale and John David Washington) must flirt with danger to uncover the truth and clear their names.
