My Buddy from Brooklyn: The Movie tells the explosive true story of Howard “Buddy” Jacobson, the charismatic New Yorker who reinvented himself as a modeling agency kingpin and lived at the center of celebrity, fashion, and scandal. Surrounded by supermodels, actors, and socialites, Buddy’s life epitomized the glittering excess of 1970s Manhattan. But behind the velvet ropes and flashing cameras, his charm and ambition collided with jealousy, betrayal, and violence—culminating in the shocking 1978 murder of Jack Tupper, a crime that captivated headlines and sealed Buddy’s infamy.

More than a crime story, the film is a high-octane drama of power, glamour, and downfall—an irresistible blend of true-crime suspense and high-society spectacle. With millions at stake and a cast of unforgettable real-life characters, it delivers the kind of cinematic punch that grips audiences long after the credits roll.
