Get Hard
An education in incarceration.
Directed by Etan Cohen
Produced by Gary Sanchez Productions, RatPac Entertainment
A buddy comedy built on racial and class stereotypes that uses fish-out-of-water humor and a wrongful-conviction setup to explore mutual misunderstanding and unlikely friendship.
When millionaire hedge fund manager James is convicted of fraud and sentenced to a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives him one month to get his affairs in order. Knowing that he won't survive more than a few minutes in prison on his own, James desperately turns to Darnell-- a black businessman who's never even had a parking ticket -- for help. As Darnell puts James through the wringer, both learn that they were wrong about many things, including each other.
