Kings is a 2017 drama film directed by Deniz Gamze Ergüven and stars Halle Berry and Daniel Craig. The film is set in South Central Los Angeles in 1992, just a few weeks before the city's infamous riots following the verdict of the Rodney King trial.
The story centers around Millie Dunbar (Halle Berry), a foster mother who takes care of eight children. She lives in a rundown neighborhood with her kids and struggles to make ends meet. One day, she meets an ex-gang member named Obie (Daniel Craig) who helps her out when her car breaks down. Obie is a loner who is struggling to find his place in the world after turning his back on the gang life.
As tensions in the city begin to boil over, Millie and Obie find themselves trying to protect the children in their care. They must navigate through the chaos and danger of a city on the brink of violence, all while grappling with their own personal demons.
Kings is a powerful and timely film that explores issues of race, class, and community in America. It is a moving and thought-provoking portrayal of a society on the brink of collapse, and the people who try to navigate through it with courage and compassion.
