The Luckiest Man in America (2025) Movie Review & Ending Explained: Is Michael Larson a Hero of the American Dream?

“The Luckiest Man in America” (2025) feels like a time capsule to a world we have left behind. Directed and co-written by Samir Oliveros, it is based on a true story from 1984 when an ice cream truck driver earned a fortune on a television game show. Most of its runtime is devoted to recreating the events from this well-known scandal. It stars Paul Walter Hauser as the said show contestant Michael Larson, while David Strathairn, Shamier Anderson, Walton Goggins, and Patti Harrison round out the remaining central cast. Through their characters, the film critiques the venerated American Dream.
