An American dream

ComedyCrimeDrama

Based on the true story of two young men, David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, who won a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America's allies in Afghanistan.

VIBE

This film feels like a high-octane, darkly humorous ride through the morally ambiguous fringes of the American dream. It's an exhilarating, yet cautionary tale of ambition, excess, and the slippery slope of easy money, all wrapped in a cynical, propulsive energy that keeps you on edge while you laugh.
