Plots(1)
Don Cheadle portrays the one and only Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene, Jr. in this funny, feel-good and inspiring true story. Ex-convict Greene talks his way into an on-air radio gig with program director Dewey Hughes (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and his unprecedented "tell it like it is" style breaks all the rules while electrifying a city and bringing a nation together when it needs it the most. (official distributor synopsis)
