Denzel Washington directed and stars in this adaptation of August
Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, which centers on a black garbage
collector named Troy Maxson in 1950s Pittsburgh. Bitter that baseball's
color barrier was only broken after his own heyday in the Negro Leagues,
Maxson is prone to taking out his frustrations on his loved ones. Both
Washington and co-star Viola Davis won Tonys for their performances in
the 2010 revival of the play. Stephen Henderson, Jovan Adepo, Russell
Hornsby, and Mykelti Williamson round out the supporting cast.
