The Founder

 

Michael Keaton headlines as the man who made McDonald’s the biggest fast-food chain in the world.

 

It’s the multi-billion dollar fast food corporation that serves, on average, 68 million customers a day in 119 countries across the world. But how did McDonald’s become the world-conquering force it is today? This gripping drama tells the story of Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), a travelling salesman who turned two brothers' humble hamburger stand into the most successful fast-food brand in the world through a combination of ambition, persistence, and ruthlessness.
