The Apprentice: An American Horror Story
A young Donald Trump, eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn, the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win. Fascinated by the potential he saw in Donald, Roy taught the younger man everything he knew about turning a corrupt system to one’s own advantage using devious, cutthroat tactics. In the end, both believed, all that mattered was winning at all cost.
THE APPRENTICE is directed by award-winning Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi (Academy Award ® nominated, European Film Award winner Border, Cannes Best Actress Winner Holy Spider).
World premiering in Competition at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, THE APPRENTICE stars Emmy Award® nominee Sebastian Stan (Pam & Tommy) as Donald Trump, Emmy Award® winner Jeremy Strong (Succession) as Roy Cohn and Academy Award® nominee Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm) as Trump’s first wife, Ivana. The fact-based script is written by Gabriel Sherman, author of the New York Times best-selling biography of Fox News founder Roger Ailes, The Loudest Voice in the Room.
