THR writes the film, based off the book with the same name, centers on Ron Stallworth, a detective in Colorado Springs, Colorado, who in 1978 answered an ad in the local newspaper seeking new Klan members. He not only gained membership, but rose through the ranks to become the head of the local chapter. However Stallworth, who is black, pretended to be a white supremacist on the phone and through other forms of correspondence to trick the KKK into letting him in. During his undercover work, he managed to sabotage several cross-burnings and other activities of the notorious hate group.

Sounds pretty dope!
