FRIES! The Movie

In Fries! The Movie, Malcolm Gladwell and Chrissy Teigen join an international cast of characters celebrating their love of fries through reverence and humor, told through intimate and real discussions with historians, connoisseurs, chefs, and obsessives all over the world.


The film takes the audience on a journey around the world – from the origin of the potato in Peru, through the humble yet highly contested early history of the fry in France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the United States.


In a world full of strife and distrust, a modern era where truths and lies intermingle in ways making them nearly impossible to sort, and in the best of times or the worst of times there was, and always will be, one thing we can all agree on...it’s easy to find comfort in a fry.
