For the first time since 2008’s Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood is back on both sides of the camera to tell the incredible story of Earl Stone – World War II vet, accomplished horticulturist, and top drug runner for the cartel.
When faced with the impending foreclosure of his business, octogenarian loner Earl is convinced to do some driving for a few shady characters. Before he knows it, he’s in far over his head, and a top DEA agent (Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born) is jonesing to take him down.
Featuring Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) as a special agent, and Michael Peña (Ant-Man) as the cartel’s enforcer, The Mule is an intense true-life crime drama that shows that our golden years don’t always turn out quite like we imagined them.
