The Apprentice, a film detailing the life of a young Donald Trump in 1970s New York premieres on Friday, October 11. Starring Sebastian Stan as the future 45th president, the movie focuses on Trump’s business ventures and relationship with lawyer Roy Cohn (played by Jeremy Strong), who represented him in a 1973 housing discrimination lawsuit. Strong told Variety that the biopic is best described as a “Frankenstein” movie “about the creation of a monster by another monster.”
The movie isn’t without controversy, of course: According to Variety, the film’s production dodged cease and desists from Trump’s legal team. However, the movie will still make its debut, less than a month before Election Day.
Though the film has already been released in select theaters, it’ll officially premiere nationwide on Friday. Here’s where to watch in the DC area.
