Sorry to Bother You

In a dystopian, not-too-distant future, black telemarketer Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a macabre universe of material glory. As his friends and co-workers organize in protest of corporate oppression, Cassius falls under the spell of his company’s cocaine-snorting CEO Steve Lift, who offers him a salary beyond his wildest dreams. Sorry to Bother comes to the screen on Thursday, July 5.

The Equalizer 2
