Tony

Long before he became Anthony Bourdain, he was simply Tony.

From director Matt Johnson comes the raucous, electric origin story of one of the most beloved cultural icons of the modern era. Restless, reckless, overconfident, and hungry for something he couldn't yet name, Tony offers an unexpected glimpse at the culinary legend before the world knew his name—and before he discovered the passion, purpose, and mentorship that would shape the rest of his life.

Dominic Sessa stars as a young Bourdain in 1975 Provincetown, crashing headfirst into the heat and havoc of a bustling restaurant kitchen. Spending his final summer before college washing dishes alongside a renegade crew of cooks, rebels, outsiders, and degenerates, Tony begins the journey that would ultimately culminate in his best-selling memoir, Kitchen Confidential.

An A24 release, Tony arrives in theaters nationwide on August 21.
