2024 ( USA ) (Biography/History/Drama)

Director: Ali Abbasi
In 1970s New York, determined to emerge from his powerful father’s shadow and make a name for himself in Manhattan real estate, aspiring mogul Donald Trump (Stan) is in the earliest days of his career. He encounters the man who will become one of the most important figures in his life – political fixer Roy M Cohn (Strong). Seeing promise in young Donald, the influential attorney teaches his new acolyte how to amass wealth and power through deception, intimidation and media manipulation.

Stan’s and Strong’s performances resonate in The Apprentice, a well-crafted character study on one of the most polarizing men in America.
