Story:
Amazon Prime bio-drama written and directed by Aaron Sorkin. Being the Ricardos (2021) follows Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem) during one critical production week of their groundbreaking sitcom I Love Lucy, as they are threatened by shocking personal accusations, a political smear, and cultural taboos, that could jeopardize their careers and marriage.
