News summary

Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, a new limited series on Peacock, explores a real 1970 heist during Muhammad Ali's comeback fight in Atlanta. The eight-episode show stars Kevin Hart as Gordon 'Chicken Man' Williams and features a strong ensemble cast, including Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson. The narrative centers around an armed robbery that took place at an after-party attended by mafia figures, with over a million dollars stolen, and highlights the challenges faced by Atlanta's first Black detectives during the investigation. While the series has been praised for its stylistic homage to 1970s cinema, some critics argue it drags on unnecessarily and fails to fully capitalize on Hart's dramatic potential. The show, which premiered on September 5, 2024, draws inspiration from an iHeart true crime podcast and aims to reflect the sociocultural dynamics of its time. Overall, it attempts to capture both the excitement of the heist and the historical context of Black wealth in Atlanta.
