From visionary director Spike Lee comes the provocative story based on Ron Stallworth’s real life as Colorado Springs’s first African-American police officer who went undercover to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan.
Unbelievably, Detective Stallworth (John David Washington) and his partner Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) penetrate the KKK at its highest levels to thwart its attempt to take over the city. Produced by the team behind the Academy-Award® winning “Get Out,” Spike Lee uses his trademark take-no-prisoners style and humor to tell this story often missing from the history books.
Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace.
Written by Charlie Wachtel & David Rabinowitz and Kevin Willmott & Spike Lee, based on the book ‘Black Klansman’ by Ron Stallworth.
Directed by SpikeLee.
In theaters August 10th
