Kroc was impressed by the brothers’ speedy system of making the food and saw franchise potential. He manoeuvred himself into a position to be able to pull the company from the brothers and create a billion-dollar empire. The tone of the script has been described as being similar to ‘The Social Network’ and ‘There Will Be Blood’. PTI
