Premiering with its first two episodes on May 17, 2024, “The Big Cigar” recounts what Apple describes as “the incredible true story of Hollywood revolution meeting social revolution.”
“[It’s a wild caper of Black Panther founder Newton escaping from the FBI to Cuba with the assistance of famed producer Bert Schneider in an impossibly elaborate plan — involving a fake movie production — that goes wrong every way it possibly can,” says Apple. “And somehow, it’s all true. Mostly.”
