Storyline
New York police detective John Shaft arrests Walter Wade Jr. for a racially motivated slaying. But the only eyewitness disappears, and Wade jumps bail for Switzerland. Two years later Wade returns to face trial, confident his money and influence will get him acquitted -- especially since he's paid a drug kingpin to kill the witness.

Christian Bale
From child actor and Batman to radical physical transformations, he built a career around disappearing into the character.
Christian Bale is one of the defining character actors of modern Hollywood. From his childhood breakthrough in Empire of the Sun to the extreme performances of American Psycho and The Machinist, the global success of the Dark Knight trilogy, and later work in The Fighter, The Big Short, Vice and Ford v Ferrari, he has repeatedly moved between movie stardom and total character transformation.
Collection: Shaft (Reboot) Collection
Legacy of the films and the television series of the same name dating from the 70s featuring a Harlem cop with unorthodox but effective methods. Here, it is the nephew of John SHAFT (actually his son) who takes up the torch.
