About the film

An American dream

What it’s about

David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, two friends from Miami, win a $300 million Pentagon contract to supply weapons to America's allies in Afghanistan.

What hooks you

Director Todd Phillips, known for 'The Hangover', adapts a true story. Miles Teller plays David Packouz, and Jonah Hill plays Efraim Diveroli. The film earned a Golden Globe nomination for Jonah Hill. It is based on real events, and the poster parodies 'Scarface', a film the characters constantly reference.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like crime stories with a satirical edge, tales of ambition and corruption, and comedies drawn from real events.
