Netflix has secured the legal drama Monsanto, directed by John Lee Hancock, known for The Blind Side and Saving Mr. Banks. The film features Anthony Mackie alongside Glen Powell and Laura Dern, centering on a true story of corporate accountability.

Mackie plays Dewayne "Lee" Johnson, a high school groundskeeper who developed cancer after using Monsanto's Roundup, a widely-used pesticide. The movie follows the legal battle led by young lawyer Brent Wisner (Powell) as they take on the chemical giant. Laura Dern portrays Monsanto's chief toxicologist, who defends the company's stance on the product's safety.

Monsanto sheds light on the David-and-Goliath struggle against corporate power, with Mackie's portrayal of Johnson anchoring the film in a personal and emotional fight for justice.

The film debuted and was sold at Cannes by CAA, generating significant buzz.
