Different Strokes is not a movie, but rather a television sitcom that originally aired from 1978 to 1986. The show revolves around the lives of two African-American brothers named Arnold Jackson (played by Gary Coleman) and Willis Jackson (played by Todd Bridges) who are adopted by a wealthy white widower named Philip Drummond (played by Conrad Bain).
The plot begins when Philip Drummond, a wealthy businessman from Manhattan, discovers that his former African-American housekeeper, Mrs. Garrett, has passed away and left behind her two sons, Arnold and Willis. Feeling responsible for their well-being, Drummond invites the boys to live with him in his luxurious penthouse apartment on Park Avenue. The sitcom explores the cultural clash and humorous interplay between the two contrasting families.
Arnold is a precocious and witty eight-year-old boy, often known for his catchphrase "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?". Willis, on the other hand, is a thoughtful and street-smart teenager who initially carries some skepticism about living with a white family and in a different environment.
As the series progresses, Arnold, Willis, and Drummond's relationship evolves into a genuine family bond, with Drummond becoming their loving and caring father figure. Philip Drummond's warm-heartedness and life lessons teach the boys about diversity, acceptance, and the importance of family.
The show touches on various topics such as race, class, friendship, sibling rivalry, and the challenges of growing up. The sitcom also introduces other recurring characters like Arnold and Willis' close friend, Kimberly Drummond (played by Dana Plato), and their quirky housekeeper, Edna Garrett (played by Charlotte Rae), who later gets her own spin-off show called The Facts of Life.
Overall, Different Strokes is a heartwarming and often humorous sitcom that emphasizes the importance of love, understanding, and the beauty of diversity within a blended family.
