Description
Manhattan, New York, late 1970s: the feeble, failing son (Sebastian Stan) of a real estate mogul makes a pact with a cunning, influential lawyer and political fixer (Jeremy Strong). Their names? Donald J. Trump and Roy Cohn. With Cohn as his mentor, Trump would eventually grow into the man we know today, but where did it all start? Director Ali Abbasi (Holy Spider) reveals a world filled with corruption, lies and a hunger for power, and takes you back to a time when Trump’s greatest ambitions were a large hotel and pleasing his father. The Apprentice is a must-see in the run-up to the US presidential elections: Trump’s legal team has already threated to file a lawsuit against the filmmakers and does not want this film to be released…
