Based on true events, Magic City takes place in 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma. A white woman and a black man get on an elevator. The woman screams and suddenly the man is on the streets—barely ahead of a lynch mob gathering behind him. Accused of rape, aspiring magician Joe is on the run for a crime he didn’t commit—and the woman who’s scream implicated Joe must search for the courage to exonerate him.
