They Cloned Tyrone

They Cloned Tyrone follows three residents of a struggling neighborhood whose lives change after a run of strange occurrences. Fontaine is a small-time drug dealer still grieving his younger brother, Slick Charles is a pimp who claims he was at the top of his trade in 1995, and Yo-Yo works for Slick. When Fontaine is shot dead one night and wakes up the next morning as if nothing happened, the three of them begin looking into what was done to him. Their search leads them to an abandoned house, a hidden elevator and an underground laboratory, and to a government operation conducted on Black residents. The film blends comedy with mystery and science fiction elements. Juel Taylor directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Tony Rettenmaier, and Jamie Foxx produced it with Datari Turner and Taylor.
