The story revolves around a highly unlikely trio who work together to understand and change something that is way beyond their reach. Tyrone Fontaine is the main lead of the show; he discovers he is actually a clone of his original self created by the government. We then follow him, Slick Charles, and Yo-Yo as they dig into the entire matter. Upon further investigation, they uncover the harsh truth of experiments that the white overlords have been doing on the local black population.

After an initial feeling of despair and helplessness, Fontaine decided he must do something about this. Hence, they stand up against the regime and decide to bring about a change.

Who all are in this movie

The cast of They Cloned Tyrone is power-packed, featuring the latest Star Wars sensation, John Boyega as Tyrone Fontaine. Along with him, we will see Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx and WandaVision star Teyonah Parris portraying Slick Charles and Yo-Yo, respectively.

Boyega shared his experience of working on this Netflix film in an interview. He said, “This is me just going home for a bit. Like, this is stateside Attack the Block for me. I’m just more than excited to see a small little hood go through an alien experience. I’ve just come off of two kind of intense projects. Chase Palmer’s Naked Singularity…and then Steve McQueen’s Small Axe. So They Cloned Tyrone is just a chance for me to have fun… and chill.
