Enter charismatic lawyer Willie E. Gary (portrayed by Jamie Foxx), known for his unbeatable track record over the past 12 years.

Meet Mame Downes (Jurnee Smollett), a top Harvard Law School graduate with a reputation as “The Python.” She’s the hotshot attorney representing the corporate giants and is ready to go head-to-head with Gary. Sparks fly during their first meeting, with Downes warning, “Once we begin that trial, I’m gonna destroy you.” As tempers flare and doubts arise, an unlikely bond forms between O’Keefe and Gary. Together, they navigate a treacherous legal landscape, all while seeking a staggering $100 million in damages.“ The Burial” boasts a stellar cast, including Mamoudou Athie, Pamela Reed, Bill Camp, and Alan Ruck. Directed by Maggie Betts and co-written by Doug Wright, based on a gripping New Yorker article by Jonathan Harr, this R-rated film promises an electrifying showdown.
