Apple TV+ has shared the teaser trailer and release date for a big new film starring Denzel Washington: Highest 2 Lowest. Here are the details.

Later this year, Apple TV+ will debut an exciting new film project.

Highest 2 Lowest is an A24-Apple collaboration that arrives in theaters August 22 and on Apple TV+ two weeks later, on Friday, September 5 .

The film hails from filmmaker Spike Lee, and its cast includes Denzel Washington, A$AP Rocky, Jeffrey Wright, and more. It’s inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s film, “High and Low.”

Here’s Apple’s summary and the :

When a titan music mogul (Denzel Washington), widely known as having the “best ears in the business,” is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. Brothers Denzel Washington and Spike Lee reunite for the fifth time in their long working relationship for a reinterpretation of the great filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller “High and Low,” now played out on the mean streets of modern day New York City.

After struggling with its film slate for much of 2024 , Apple seems to have turned things around this year.

The Gorge was a big hit for Apple TV+, and the upcoming Fountain of Youth looks similarly poised for success. This summer, Apple hopes its first summer blockbuster, F1 , will provide a much-needed theatrical win for the company.

Highest 2 Lowest, if its creative team ends up delivering, looks like yet another win for the streamer.
