Cranston is coming back to the big screen as a drug lord chasing agent.
This summer, Bryan Cranston will star in a new movie The Infiltrator directed by Brad Furman. Joined by Diane Kruger, John Leguizamo, Benjamin Bratt, Yul Vazquez, Joseph Gilgun, Olympia Dukakis and Amy Ryan.
Ironically, in The Infiltrator Cranston will play a federal agent on a chase after the drug lord Pablo Escobar, simultaneously standing on the other side of the law than in his now iconic role as Walter White in TV series Breaking Bad.
Based on a true story, Federal agent Robert “Bob” Mazur (Bryan Cranston) goes deep undercover to infiltrate Pablo Escobar’s drug trafficking scene plaguing the nation in 1986 by posing as slick, money-laundering businessman Bob Musella. Teamed with impulsive and streetwise fellow agent Emir Abreu (John Leguizamo) and rookie agent posing as his fiancé Kathy Ertz (Diane Kruger), Mazur befriends Escobar’s top lieutenant Roberto Alcaino (Benjamin Bratt). Navigating a vicious criminal network in which the slightest slip-up could cost him his life, Mazur risks it all building a case that leads to indictments of 85 drug lords and the corrupt bankers who cleaned their dirty money, along with the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, one of the largest money-laundering banks in the world.
The Infiltrator hits theaters on July 15, 2016
