Ray Kroc, a salesman from Arlington Heights, Illinois, has a restless drive and a knack for making a living on the road, selling five-spindle milkshake makers for Prince Castle. However, his constant traveling and lack of attention at home with his wife Ethel has taken a toll on their relationship. While eating at drive-in restaurants, Ray becomes fascinated with the concept of McDonald's Restaurant in San Bernardino, California, owned by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald. The brothers' innovative approach to quality food, consistency, and speed, achieved through assembly line production, impresses Ray, and they decide to franchise their business with him as their head.
