The Apprentice is a 2024 American-Danish-Canadian-Irish biographical film directed by Ali Abbasi and written by Gabriel Sherman. The lead roles are played by Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong (both of whom were nominated for an Oscar).

The film is set in the 1970s and 1980s, during the early years of Donald Trump’s business career, and focuses on his relationship with Roy Cohn, a New York prosecutor known for working with Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Second Red Scare. Cohn teaches Trump his "three rules": always attack, never admit mistakes, and always claim victory—even in defeat.
