A ragtag trio of small-time criminals — John Boyega’s Fontaine, Teyonah Parris’s Yo-Yo and Jamie Foxx’s Slick Charles — stumble upon a government conspiracy involving the illegal cloning of humans in Netflix’s They Cloned Tyrone trailer, unveiled by the streamer on Tuesday evening.
The two-minute-47-second-long trailer introduces the outlandish trio of small-time criminals. They follow a car used for abducting a black man and stumble upon a puzzling experiment of human cloning by the government. This revelation makes them paranoid. They take the investigation further, form their own army and raid the government facility to unearth the truth.
“Verified It’s about to go down. THEY CLONED TYRONE is premiering July 21, only on Netflix.” Netflix on Instagram alongside the trailer.
