Hannibal Buress was born on February 4, 1983 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He is an actor and writer, known for The Eric Andre Show (2012), The Secret Life of Pets (2016) and Neighbors (2014).
This is inspired by the true story of a real-life, little-known American hero — Robert Smalls — who, as an enslaved person in Charleston at the height of the Civil War, pulled off the most audacious heist in history — a suicide mission if caught — by stealing his friends and family and the Confederate warship on which he served to run the naval blockade in the treacherous South Carolina waters and defect to the North.
