The true story of how Ray Kroc, a salesman from Illinois, met Mac and Dick McDonald, who were running a burger operation in 1950s Southern California. Kroc was impressed by the brothers’ speedy system of making the food and saw franchise potential. He maneuvered himself into a position to be able to pull the company from the brothers and create a billion-dollar empire.
Editor's Verdict
"The film 'The Founder' is a historical drama about the creation of the McDonald's empire. While it had a 'Holiday Release,' the plot, setting, themes, and iconography are entirely focused on business expansion, ambition, and American capitalism during the 1950s and 60s, with no meaningful connection to Christmas."
