If you’ve ever asked yourself who would win in a fist fight between Ice Cube and Charlie Day, then you might want to check out Fist Fight. The New Line Cinema and Village Roadshow Pictures release pits Day vs. Ice Cube in a comedy set in high school. Directed by Richie Keen (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) from a script by Van Robichaux and Evan Susser, the cast also includes Tracy Morgan, Jillian Bell, Dean Norris, Christina Hendricks, Dennis Haysbert, and JoAnna Garcia Swisher. Fist Fight will open in theaters on February 17, 2017.
The Plot: On the last day of the year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line. But things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throw down after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire and ends up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.
