Explained simply
The Outfit is a crime thriller set in 1950s Chicago, where organised crime shaped life in some neighbourhoods. Its central character, Leonard Burling, is an English tailor whose shop makes clothes for local gangsters.
Mark Rylance plays Leonard, and Graham Moore directed the film. The story centres on the people who pass through the shop and the risks of serving a criminal underworld, giving the film a contained setting rather than following gangsters across the city.
