Native Son

Bigger Thomas (Ashton Sanders) is a young Black man in present-day Chicago, scraping by and looking for work. He takes a job as a driver for the Daltons, a wealthy and influential family, and is soon spending his days around their daughter Mary (Margaret Qualley) and her boyfriend Jan (Nick Robinson). Rashid Johnson, making his feature debut, builds the film from the novel by Richard Wright, in a screenplay by Suzan-Lori Parks.
