"Soul Men" stars Samuel L. Jackson and the late Bernie Mac as Louis Hinds and Floyd Henderson. The two, along with singer John Legend (as Marcus Hooks), portray fictitious singing group The Real Deal. Estranged after Hooks pursues a successful solo career, Hinds and Henderson come to terms as they reunite after 20 years for Hooks' funeral at New York's Apollo Theater.
