John Lee Hancock directs this biopic which stars Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc, the American businessman and founder of multinational fast food company McDonald's.

Recognising the potential for a nationwide franchise of revolutionary fast food outlets, Kroc desperately tries to convince the brothers to branch out. However, when the McDonalds prove reluctant to expand their business, Kroc fashions a number of subtle deals in an attempt to gain outright control of the company and realise his ambitions of owning a highly profitable nationwide business. The cast also includes Laura Dern, Linda Cardellini and Patrick Wilson.
