Washington DC [US], August 4 (ANI): The makers of Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky's highly anticipated movie 'Highest 2 Lowest' have finally shared the trailer of the film on Sunday.

Apple and A24 unveiled the official trailer for 'Highest 2 Lowest', their Kurosawa-inspired crime thriller, which reunites director Spike Lee and actor Denzel Washington for the first time since 'Inside Man' in 2006.

As per Deadline, the story is a modern reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 classic 'High and Low', which was itself based on the novel King's Ransom by Ed McBain.

While the original thriller follows a shoe company exec who becomes a victim of extortion when his chauffeur's son is kidnapped by mistake and held for ransom, the new film, set in contemporary NYC, sees a music mogul played by Washington contend with a similar plot, as per the trailer.

Also starring A$AP Rocky, as well as Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, Dean Winters, John Douglas Thompson, and Ice Spice, Highest 2 Lowest debuted out of competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

It was the sixth time Lee debuted a film in the Cannes Official Selection, and marked 36 years to the day since his first appearance with 'Do the Right Thing', reported Deadline.

Take a look at the trailer here.
