Spike Lee teams legacy with culture in this hard-hitting reimagining of High and Low. By AO Network Staff | August 2025 The official trailer for Highest 2 Lowest just dropped, and it’s the type of film that shakes up the culture. Directed by Academy Award winner Spike Lee, this Apple Original Film reimagines Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic High and Low—but through the lens of NYC’s modern music scene. Denzel Washington stars as a music mogul whose world spirals when his chauffeur’s son is kidnapped. The twist? The kidnapping wasn’t meant for him—but it forces a moral reckoning that only Spike Lee could direct with such raw precision. But let’s talk about the culture: A$AP Rocky steps in as Yung Felon, the stylish and cold-blooded kidnapper. This might be Rocky’s most intense role yet. Also making noise is Ice Spice, bringing her Bronx energy to her first big-screen debut. Highest 2 Lowest drops in theaters August 15 and hits Apple TV+ on September 5.
