Molly's Game

Molly’s Game tells the thrilling true story of Molly Bloom (played by Jessica Chastain), the mastermind behind the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game whose players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. When she is arrested in the middle of the night by FBI agents wielding automatic weapons she turns to criminal defence lawyer Charlie Jaffey (Idris Elba) for help. Academy Award® winning writer Aaron Sorkin delivers a quick-witted, fiery directorial debut with this riveting portrait of a smart, talented young woman who gambled everything, won big, then lost it all.
