Nickel Boys is a 2024 American drama film directed by Ramel Ross from a screenplay by Ramel Ross, Jocelyn Barnes, and Colson Whitehead. The film is set to be released in the United States on October 25, 2024.
The story of the film is based on the historic reform school in Florida called "„Dozier School for Boys“", which is known for its offensive attitude towards students.
This is a story about Elwood Curtis, a young African-American boy who is sent to Nickel Academy, after being wrongly accused of a crime in the 1960s. While there, he meets a boy named Turner, and the two form a close friendship as they try to survive the horrors of the school and its corrupt administrators.
