This 'inspired-by' design* is for Nickel Boys, the 2024 historical drama directed by RaMell Ross, based on Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Set in 1960s Florida, the film follows Elwood Curtis (Ethan Herisse), a bright and idealistic African-American teenager whose promising future is derailed when he's unjustly sent to the Nickel Academy, a reform school with a history of systemic abuse. There, he forms a complex friendship with Turner (Brandon Wilson), a more cynical peer, as they navigate the institution's harsh realities. The cast also includes Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as Hattie, Elwood's supportive grandmother, and Hamish Linklater as Spencer, the school's corrupt superintendent.

Nickel Boys directed by RaMell Ross, received two nominations at the 97th Academy Awards: Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. However, it did not win in either category.
