*The official trailer has dropped for Peacock’s new true crime series “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist,” starring Kevin Hart and Samuel L. Jackson.
The project hails from producer Will Packer and is based on the iHeart true crime podcast of the same name that centers on an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight.
Per Peacock, here’s the official synopsis: “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist follows the infamous story of how an armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s historic 1970 comeback fight changed not only one man’s life but ultimately transformed Atlanta into the “Black Mecca.” When a hustler named Chicken Man (Kevin Hart) hosts an afterparty to celebrate the fight with a guest list of the country’s wealthiest, the night ends with the most brazen criminal underworld heist in Atlanta’s history. Suspected of masterminding the crime, Chicken Man is hellbent on clearing his name but must convince his old adversary, J.D. Hudson (Don Cheadle), one of the first Black detectives in the city’s desegregated police force, who is tasked with bringing those responsible to justice.”
The series premieres on the streamer on Sept. 5. Watch the trailer via the YouTube clip above and get a FIRST LOOK at some of the visuals below.
