Director David Fincher brings to life a script written by his father that explores the Oscar-winning writer of Citizen Kane, Herman Jacob Mankiewicz.

In this Netflix film, Mank, we examine the vices, the self-destructive behavior and uncanny ability of this alcoholic screenwriter to connect with the poorest of vagabonds and richest of tycoons. Gary Oldman takes on the lead role in a film that offers an artistic flashback to classic Hollywood of the 1930s.
