From director/co-writer Graham Moore (The Imitation Game), the crime drama The Outfit is set in the 1950s in Chicago and follows Leonard Burling (Mark Rylance), an expert tailor whose impeccable hand-crafted suits are often worn by dangerous mobsters. Set entirely in his modest corner shop, Leonard tries to focus on his craft and stay out of the turf war among rival gangs, until it becomes clear that there’s a mole in their midst and the twists and turns of the story unfold in a way that is not only surprising for the audience, but for the characters themselves.
