Halle Berry and Daniel Craig brave the L.A. Riots in trailer for Kings

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

After her debut feature, MUSTANG, went on to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, writer/director Deniz Gamze Ergüven announced her next project soon after. KINGS stars Halle Berry as Millie, a hardworking single mother of eight children, some of whom aren't her own, who has a soft spot for strays. Her neighbour Obie (Daniel Craig) is the only white man in an area largely inhabited by African Americans, Latinos, and Koreans and is regarded as a big of a loose cannon. However, following the acquittal of four of the officers accused of beating Rodney King, racial tensions are running dangerously high and the two unlikely allies must navigate the chaos of the Los Angeles riots in order to bring Millie's kids home safely.

Kings hits theaters this spring on April 27, 2018.
