Need a new Netflix Original movie to watch this weekend? High Flying Bird jumps into the world of basketball, which was all shot entirely on an iPhone.
In the midst of a pro basketball lockout, sports agent Ray Burke (André Holland) finds himself caught in the face-off between the league and the players. His career is on the line, but Ray is playing for higher stakes. With only 72 hours to pull off a daring plan, he outmaneuvers all the power-players as he uncovers a loophole that could change the game forever. The outcome raises questions of who owns the game – and who ought to.
Starring André Holland, Zachary Quinto (Star Trek), Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2), and Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks). Plus appearances from NBA athletes Reggie Jackson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Donovan Mitchell. Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) from a script by Academy Award winner Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight).
