The stellar cast includes Mahershala Ali as a runaway slave fighting for his rights, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as a former slave turned warrior, and Keri Russell as Knight's wife who stands by his side through thick and thin. As tensions rise and battles rage on, Knight and his allies face immense challenges and heartbreaking sacrifices in their quest for justice and independence.
