Synopsis

"The Council" tells the never-before-told story of a crime syndicate consisting of seven African-American men who ruled Harlem in the 1970s and early '80s. No ordinary crime syndicate -- the men dreamed of a self-sufficient and self-policing African American city-state, funded by revolutionizing the drug game. The movie centers on the Shakespearean court intrigue between The Council's king, Nicky Barnes (played by Will Smith), dubbed "Mr. Untouchable" by the New York Times, and all the different members as one unlikely rising protege emerges.
