Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, Taraji P. Henson, Chloe Bailey, Don Cheadle and Terrence Howard to star in "Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist"
Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist is based on the acclaimed iHeart true-crime podcast. It follows an armed robbery during Muhammad Ali’s 1970 comeback fight, a night that transformed Atlanta into the “Black Mecca.”
A hustler named Chicken Man (Kevin Hart) hosts an afterparty for the fight, attended by the country's wealthiest. The night ends with a major heist, and Chicken Man, suspected of orchestrating the crime, is determined to clear his name. To do so, he must convince J.D. Hudson (Don Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in Atlanta, who is investigating the case.
