King Corn follows two friends, Curt Ellis and Ian Cheney, as they plant an acre of corn in upstate New York to trace the crop's journey from field to table. The film reveals how modern corn farming shapes farming, industry, and everyday eating, exposing monoculture, subsidies, and the hidden costs of a corn-centric food system. Through humor and candid on-screen experiments, it invites viewers to rethink farming, dietary habits, and the politics of American agriculture.
