In the 1980s, United States Customs Service special agent Robert Mazur (Cranston) goes undercover as “Bob Musella” to infiltrate the world’s largest cartel, and bring down its money laundering scheme by notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. He soon discovers that the Bank of Credit and Commerce International has secretly and illegally taken ownership of First American Bank shares in Washington D.C., and resolves to take them down with the ship…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Imagine this as an alternate universe Breaking Bad, wherein Bryan Cranston actually didn’t want to go into the drugs business, and The Infiltrator will be more enjoyable than it already is.
