Director Steve McQueen's fourth film, Widows, follows the lives of 3 women who are newly widowed as their husbands are killed during one of their heists. Harry (Liam Nesson), the leader of the team, leaves behind his wife Veronica (Viola Davis) who must pick up the pieces of her life. She starts to get harassed from Jamaal Manning, a local gangster who is running for alderman in the South-Side of Chicago. Jamaal demands his $2 Million dollars to be returned that Harry stole from him. Veronica must gather the other widows (Michelle Rodriguez and Elizabeth Debicki) together, along with a driver (Cynthia Erivo) to pull off one last heist job to get the money to pay back Jamaal and move on with their lives.
