Plot Summary

A young Donald Trump, eager to make his name as a hungry scion of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn, the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.

Must Watch

You feel the electric pulse of 1970s Manhattan press against your chest as shadows clash with ambition. You find yourself in the whirlwind of a young Donald Trump, guided by ruthless Roy Cohn, and the film reads more like a high-stakes chess match than a conventional biopic. Leonardo DiCaprio takes you on a razor-sharp journey with intense stare-downs that demand every edge of your attention. You might notice the early pacing lags, yet the second act snaps back with blistering tempo. You will love it if tense, character-driven dramas set against historic backdrops keep you coming for more.
