Our main protagonist is Will Smith’s Scott Ward, a Los Angeles cop who is paired with “diversity hire” Nick Jakoby, an orc played by It Comes At Night’s Joel Edgerton.
But these two will need to deal with their issues quickly, as Los Angeles has been hit with a strange threat.
Scott and Nick’s partnership gets off to a rocky start, and this is representative of the social divide between the humans and this Earth’s other intelligent creatures.
Bright is set on a present day Earth a lot like ours, with a key exception: it’s populated with fantastical creatures that you would normally see in Lord of the Rings or another more traditional fantasy tale, like orcs, fairies and elves.
