First trailer for The Banker starring Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Mackie and Nicholas Hoult

November 4, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Apple TV has released the first trailer for the upcoming drama The Banker. Based on a true story, the film tells the story of  businessmen Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (Samuel L. Jackson), who hire a working class white man Matt Steiner (Nicholas Hoult) to pose as the head of their company in an attempt to circumvent the racial limitations of the 1950s; watch it here…

Based on a true story, “The Banker” centers on revolutionary businessmen Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (Samuel L. Jackson), who devise an audacious and risky plan to take on the racially oppressive establishment of the 1960s by helping other African Americans pursue the American dream. Along with Garrett’s wife Eunice (Nia Long), they train a working class white man, Matt Steiner (Nicholas Hoult), to pose as the rich and privileged face of their burgeoning real estate and banking empire – while Garrett and Morris pose as a janitor and a chauffeur. Their success ultimately draws the attention of the federal government, which threatens everything the four have built.

UPDATE: And’s here’s a poster for The Banker…

 

Directed by George Nolfi, The Banker features a cast that also includes Nia Long, Colm Meaney, Jessie Usher, and Gregory Alan Williams. It is set to arrive in cinemas on December 6th.
