About

In 1986 Queens, two brothers chase the American dream through a seemingly perfect deal that pulls them into the Russian mafia.

In 1986 in Queens, New York, brothers Gary Pearl and Irwin Pearl pursue the American dream. James Gray wrote and directed the crime drama, which stars Adam Driver as Gary, Miles Teller as Irwin and Scarlett Johansson as Hester Pearl. A lucrative business opportunity appears to be a perfect deal, but it draws the brothers into the world of the Russian mafia. As the threat comes closer, their suburban family becomes entangled in the scheme and the bond between the siblings is put to the test.
