The Founder
Drama115 min
Michael Keaton is Ray Kroc, an Illinois salesman who sees national potential in a small burger stand run by Mac and Dick McDonald in 1950s Southern California. Impressed by the brothers’ fast, tightly organized system and stripped-down menu, he pushes to turn their operation into a franchise empire. Contracts, handshakes, and expansion plans soon give way to disputes over money, control, and what the McDonald’s name should become. Alongside him, Linda Cardellini’s Joan signals another shift in Ray’s business and personal life as his ambitions move far beyond a single restaurant.
