Spike Lee has released the first trailer for his A24 and Apple-backed crime thriller "Highest 2 Lowest" starring Denzel Washington, A$AP Rocky and more. The movie will be released in theaters August 22 and stream on Apple TV+ starting Sept.

Ahead of the film's debut at the Cannes Film Festival in a couple of weeks, A24 and Apple have revealed the first teaser trailer for "Highest 2 Lowest." The new Spike Lee joint stars Denzel Washington as a music mogul with a reputation for having the "best ears in the business" who is targeted with a ransom plot.

Lee's reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 'High and Low,' also starring A$AP Rocky, is set to get its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival before hitting theaters in August.
