Legendary bada** John Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson) agrees to help his estranged son, JJ (Jessie T. Usher), uncover the truth behind his friend's suspicious death. The polar opposite of his foul-mouthed father, JJ is a book-smart cybersecurity expert who needs an education only Shaft can provide: how to navigate Harlem's underbelly. But if flying fists and bullets weren't enough of a challenge, JJ finds his political correctness clashes wildly with Shaft's "shut your mouth" style in this nonstop action-comedy that proves the Shaft name is still the ultimate in cool. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
