The Apprentice

Dir. Ali Abbasi | 2024 | 120 mins | English 

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 J. Trump is in the earliest days of his career when he encounters the man who will become one of the most important figures in his life, political fixer Roy Cohn. Seeing promise in young Donald, the influential attorney—who secured espionage convictions against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and investigated suspected Communists alongside Senator Joseph McCarthy—teaches his new acolyte how to amass wealth and power through deception, intimidation and media manipulation. The rest is history.

From award-winning Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi (Academy Award ® nominated, European Film Award winner Border, Cannes Best Actress Winner Holy Spider) comes a searing exploration of the underbelly of the American empire and a gripping examination of the mentor-protégé relationship that would ultimately change the world.
