Harlem Nights

Harlem Nights (2026)
Director: Eddie Murphy
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Samuel L. Jackson

Setting: Early 1990s Harlem — a neighborhood caught between fading jazz clubs and rising skyscrapers, where culture collides with crime and gentrification.
At its heart stands Sugar Ray’s Club, now in ruins, becoming the battleground for Harlem’s very soul. Eddie Murphy returns as Quick, an older, wiser businessman forced back into action when his young protégé is targeted by ruthless developers and modern-day gangsters — led by Samuel L. Jackson, a powerful and calculating kingpin with deep political ties. Blending humor, crime, and drama, Harlem Nights (2026) is both a love letter to Harlem’s golden age and a story of legacy, loyalty, and survival.
