About this movie

The incredible true story of how Ray Kroc (Academy Award nominee Michael Keaton, Spotlight, Birdman), a salesman from Illinois, met Mac (John Carroll Lynch, Jackie) and Dick McDonald (Nick Offerman, 22 Jump Street), who were running a burger operation in 1950s Southern California. So impressed by the brothers' speedy system Kroc risked his marriage, bankruptcy and his reputation to create a billion-dollar empire that revolutionised the world. From director John Lee Hancock (Saving Mr. Banks, The Blind Side) and writer Robert Siegel (The Wrestler) comes a stunning and shocking portrayal of the man whose hunger for the American Dream ate away everything he knew.

Good film! Keaton is great as Kroc - I thought I knew the whole McDonald's story but this definitely had its moments. Unsure how much artistic licence was used, but definitely take some parts with a pinch of salt (no pun intended).

Great film! Bit of an ad for Macdonalds (unsurprisingly) but it keeps you interested and Keaton is outstanding as ever!
