About Nickel Boys

Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Colson Whitehead, this gorgeously cinematic drama is immersively told from the point of view of the main character.

In 1962, Elwood Curtis, a young African-American boy is sent to the notorious Nickel Academy reform school after he is falsely accused of a crime. While there, he meets a boy named Turner, and the two form a close friendship as they try to survive the horrors of the school and its corrupt administrators.
