The Founder

(2016)Directed by John Lee Hancock115 min · PG-13Drama, History
“He took someone else's idea and America ate it up.”

In the 1950s, Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), a traveling salesman from Illinois, finds a burger stand in Southern California run by brothers Dick (Nick Offerman) and Mac McDonald (John Carroll Lynch). Their system for making food fast has him seeing franchises where they see one good restaurant.
