Based on a true story, Cadillac Records chronicles the rise of Leonard Chess (Brody) and his artists, whose recording careers with Chess Records eventually was acknowledged in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. The artists depicted are Muddy Waters (Wright), Howlin' Wolf (Walker), Chuck Berry (Def), Little Walter (Short), Etta James (Knowles), and Composer Willie Dixon (Cedric The Entertainer)—the man who wrote the songs. In this tale of sex, violence, race, and early rock and roll, in Chicago of the 1950s and 60s, the film follows the exciting but turbulent lives of some of America's greatest musical legends. (Gary Reber)
