Will Smith plays Daryl the human cop and Joel Edgerton plays the orc cop Nick. The background setting of the film: Orcs, humans, and elves live together in a parallel world, and the contradiction between the three races begins.
The film develops through the friendship line between the two protagonists. Darryl is a human policeman. He is partnered with Nick, the only orc policeman. The police department sees Nick as an alien and wants to fire him. In the course of a case, a wand was found, and his colleagues wanted to possess the wand and let Daryl kill Nick and blame him, but Daryl killed his colleague to rescue Nick. Wanted by the police and pursued by several waves of bad guys, the two set out on the run with the surviving elves protecting their wands.
Nick is an orc. Although he joined the police force because of the government's racial balance, his colleagues in the police station never regarded him as their own, and even expelled him from the police force. He has been helping the orcs, but he has not received the traditional blood ritual of the orcs, so he has always been regarded as an alien in the eyes of his peers.
In the end, Daryl killed the bad guy with a wand, and Nick carried him out of the fire, and the two received a reward.
The orcs in the movie are a metaphor for black people, and they also satirize the racism in American reality.
