McDonald’s may loom over all of us like a capitalist titan, but every empire has its humble beginnings.
The Founder, directed by John Lee Hancock, explores the moment these brothers are met by Ray Kroc, a travelling milkshake maker salesman from Illinois.
The Founder is available on digital download, Blu-ray, and DVD from 12 June.
Kroc convinced the brothers to franchise their restaurant under his leadership, though a contract stated all changes had to receive the McDonald brothers’ direct approval.
