Informazioni su questo film

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!

Good film to watch slow in places but finishes well with taking no prisoners in business.
