2017 Biography

Long before he became a Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall (Boseman) was an up-and-coming lawyer with the NAACP. When a black chauffeur is accused of the sexual assault and attempted murder of his wealthy socialite employer, Marshall is sent to defend the man in what quickly becomes a highly sensationalized trial that attracts national attention. He partners with Sam Friedman (Gad), a Jewish lawyer who has never actually tried a case, to face down the maelstrom of prejudice and fear as he begins laying the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement.
