Shaft (2000) Original Double-Sided Rolled Poster 27x40

Shaft (2000), directed by John Singleton, is a modern update of the classic Blaxploitation character, with Samuel L. Jackson starring as NYPD detective John Shaft, the nephew of the original (played in a cameo by Richard Roundtree). The film follows Shaft as he pursues a wealthy, racist murder suspect (Christian Bale) who escapes justice thanks to his privilege and influence, forcing Shaft to take matters into his own hands. Mixing gritty crime drama with stylized action and sharp dialogue, the film reintroduced the iconic character to a new generation while honoring the legacy of the 1971 original.
