Crime drama from Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) set against the backdrop of the 1967 Detroit riots. Stars John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens).
In the summer of 1967, racial discrimination in Detroit reached breaking point and the city erupted into one of the largest citizen uprisings in US history. Detroit zeroes in on one pivotal event during the civil unrest – the Algiers Motel Incident – a motel raid which spiralled out of control as police interrogated guests, ending in tragedy. An ensemble cast including John Boyega (Star Wars) and Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) portray the real-life people before, during and after this defining moment in their lives.
