Created and written by Shaye Ogbonna in collaboration with Jason Horwitch, and helmed by director Craig Brewer, known for his work on "Hustle & Flow" and "Dolemite Is My Name," this mini-series promises to transport viewers to a pivotal moment in Atlanta's history.
The series revolves around the infamous armed robbery that followed Muhammad Ali's monumental comeback fight in 1970. Set amidst the vibrant backdrop of a city dubbed "the Black Mecca," the story explores the aftermath of a high-stakes heist that shook Atlanta's criminal underworld.
Starring an ensemble cast of heavyweight talent including Kevin Hart as Chicken Man, Don Cheadle as J.D. Hudson, Samuel L Jackson, Taraji P Henson, Terrence Howard, Chloe Bailey, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Dexter Darden, Lori Harvey, and Sinqua Walls, "Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist" promises to deliver powerhouse performances that bring this historical tale to life.
The narrative unfolds as Chicken Man, played by Kevin Hart, hosts an exclusive afterparty attended by the country's elite following the historic fight. What begins as a celebration quickly escalates into the most audacious heist Atlanta has ever seen. As suspicions fall on Chicken Man for orchestrating the crime, he must navigate the treacherous waters of Atlanta's criminal underworld to clear his name.
At the heart of the series is the dynamic between Chicken Man and J.D. Hudson, portrayed by Don Cheadle, one of the first Black detectives in Atlanta's newly desegregated police force. Tasked with bringing the perpetrators to justice, J.D. Hudson becomes embroiled in a complex web of loyalty, betrayal, and ambition.
"Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist" promises not only to delve into the thrilling intricacies of the heist itself but also to explore deeper themes of race, power, and justice in a rapidly changing Atlanta. With its rich historical backdrop and compelling characters, the series is poised to captivate audiences when it begins streaming on Peacock from September 5th, 2024.
