Itās the early 1970s, a time of great social upheaval as the struggle for civil rights rages on.

Undaunted, Stallworth resolves to make a name for himself and a difference in his community. He bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan.

Posing as a racist extremist, Stallworth contacts the group and soon finds himself invited into its inner circle. He even cultivates a relationship with the Klanās Grand Wizard, David Duke (Topher Grace), who praises Ronās commitment to the advancement of White America. With the undercover investigation growing ever more complex, Stallworthās colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), poses as Ron in face-to-face meetings with members of hate group, gaining insiderās knowledge of a deadly plot. Together, Stallworth and Zimmerman team up to take down the organization whose real aim is to sanitize its violent rhetoric to appeal to the mainstream.
BlacKkKlansman is released in UK cinemas on 24th August 2018.
