But behind the myth of the game's creation is an untold tale of theft, obsession and corporate double-dealing.

A monumental reimagining of American history, Barry Jenkins’s adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning 2016 novel is a harrowing and rhapsodic journey through a still-echoing past.
