Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist Trailer
The show is based on its eponymous iHeart true-crime podcast. It tells the story of the infamous robbery, which occurred the same night as Muhammad Ali's historic comeback and earned Atlanta the title of Black Mecca.
The official synopsis reads, "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."
Chicken Man is suspected of being the brains behind the master plan, but he’s “hell-bent” on clearing his name. He must prove his innocence to his old adversary, J.D. Hudson (Don Cheadle).
"They burned Atlanta to the ground, but Atlanta rose up because the Black folk. Atlanta gonna turn them ashes into gold,” Hart’s character says in the trailer.
