Starring "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" actor John Boyega, the movie is based on true horrific events which took place in 1967's Detroit, where devastating riots happened for five days in summer, AceShowbiz said. "I'll sleep when they stop rioting," Boyega's police character says over the phone in the trailer. A voiceover later says, "It's a war zone out there. They're destroying the city." The video later features a series of gunshots in Algiers Motel and a wave of police brutality. It also highlights racism which spread in urban Detroit back then.
