In Los Angeles, veteran LAPD police officer Daryl Ward has been involuntarily partnered with Nick Jakoby, the nation 's first orcish police officer. Jakoby is faced with prejudice by humans for his race, and by orcs for his position as an officer. In addition to the pushback from other officers, Ward is ambivalent towards him after an incident where Ward was nearly killed by a shotgun - wielding orc and Jakoby had apparently let the assailant get away. While driving back to the station, a previously detained human Shield of Light devotee tells Jakoby in Orcish that both officers are in a prophecy and that Ward is blessed. While Jakoby is booking the devotee, Ward is approached by Internal Affairs who say they believe that Jakoby put his racial loyalties before his partner in allowing the orc assailant to get away. Ward is pressured to try to have Jakoby confess on tape so they will have publicly acceptable grounds for a firing. That night, Ward and Jakoby respond to a disturbance at what turns out to be a Shield of Light safe house ; inside are a number of smoldering corpses, and the still - living torso of an elf woman embedded in a wall, indicating magic was used. They apprehend the lone unhurt survivor, a young elf named Tikka in possession of a legendary magic wand who apparently only speaks Elfish. As Jakoby puts it, a wand is like `` a nuclear weapon that grants wishes '', and can only be commanded by a ' Bright ' -- a person with the rare ability to use magic. If a non-Bright touches a wand, they will explode from the raw magical power. When four officers arrive as backup, their racial prejudice cause them to try and coerce Ward into killing Jakoby and lying about the incident, telling Ward he will be spared in return and allowing them to steal the wand. They allow Ward to decide and he goes outside to Jakoby, holds him at gunpoint, and begins questioning him about the orc that had shot him. Jakoby admits to letting the suspect escape, though the reason being was that he had mistakenly cornered the wrong suspect. Jakoby had lost the original orc in the crowd and had instead caught up with a young orc who was spray painting a wall, not the orc who had tried to kill Ward, but he knew the other officers would not believe it and so let the kid go. During this confrontation, the four officers secretly plan on killing Ward after he kills Jakoby. As they approach Ward to hear his decision, Ward suddenly decides to believe Jakoby and kills all four officers. The incident, however, attracts the attention of the local human gang Altamira, and the two flee, under heavy fire, with Tikka and the wand. Leilah, a member of the ominous group Inferni and owner of the wand, arrives at the safehouse minutes later, searching for the wand and Tikka. After a pursuit, the trio flee through the territory of the Fogteeth Orc clan, causing a violent confrontation between the gang and the clan. Finally cornered in a strip club, the gang 's disabled leader, Poison, wanting to regain the use of his legs using the wand, threatens to burn the building down unless the officers give up the wand. As Jakoby and Ward pull out their weapons to give a final stand, the Inferni appear and the ensuing fight gives the trio the opportunity to escape again. Going to ground in a service station, Ward contacts his friend, Sheriff Deputy Rodriguez, who he hopes will help them in protecting the wand. Rodriguez contacts Kandomere, an elf working for the federal ' Magic Task Force ' ; dedicated to securing, containing and protecting magical objects. Kandomere tells Ward that he will be safe from prosecution for killing his fellow police officers, if they can keep the wand out of wrong hands. Before Rodriguez can bring them in, Leilah 's henchmen attack the trio, killing him. Ward, Jakoby, and Tikka run into the Fogteeth Orc clan again and are dragged before its leader Dorghu. Enraged at the chaos they are causing in his neutral territory, Dorghu has Jakoby and Ward beaten and tortured to reveal the location of the wand. Dorghu orders his son, Mikey, to kill Jakoby after failing to get an answer. However, Mikey reveals that he was the orc that Jakoby allowed to escape and thus refuses to kill him. Dorghu sends his son away and kills Jakoby himself, who falls dead into a deep pit. As he prepares to kill Ward as well, Tikka produces the wand she had magically hidden and uses it to resurrect Jakoby, revealing that she is a Bright, leaving herself incapacitated. The cloaked clan priest pronounces this to be the will of the Prophecy, causing the clan kneel to Jakoby and allow the trio to go free. Realizing that the two officers can now be trusted, Tikka speaks to them in English for the first time. She explains the Inferni 's plan to resurrect The Dark Lord, an ancient mythical figure who will rise from the dead and take over the world. Once a member of the Inferni herself, Tikka had been protected by the Shield of Light and fled with the wand. The use of the wand causes Tikka to become ill with black streaks appearing all over her body. She says that the only way to save her is to place her in a magic pool back at the Shield safe house. They return to the safehouse, but are ambushed by Leilah and the remaining Inferni. The trio successfully kill the Inferni, but Leilah is resurrected by a magic spell. Just as Ward places Tikka in the magic pool, Leilah hangs Jakoby and knocks both Ward and Tikka out of the pool. Leilah unsuccessfully tries to convince Tikka to join her ( revealing they are sisters ). Jakoby breaks free and shoots the wand out of Leilah 's hand, but runs out of ammo before he can kill her again. Leilah is about to kill Tikka when Ward picks up the fallen wand and is revealed to also be a Bright, using the wand to kill Leilah with an explosion that sets the building on fire. In the ensuing commotion, Tikka disappears and the injured Ward and Jakoby flee from the building, but Ward falls behind and is trapped by an explosion, causing Jakoby to have to return and save him. After rescuing Ward, Dorghu and his clan appear and perform an ancient orc ceremony signifying to Jakoby that he is now `` blooded '' - an Orcish status only achievable by an act of great bravery. Ward awakens the next day in a hospital room to find Jakoby at his bedside and himself restrained as he is an `` extremely dangerous '' Bright. As Kandomere appears, Ward understands ( but Jakoby does not ) that Kandomere wants to contain the incident, and gives him a fake statement as to what happened, denying the use of magic. In a public announcement before a crowd, Jakoby and Ward are honored by the city for their actions against the ' extremist group ' Inferni. Ward smiles as he spots Tikka moving through the crowd in disguise. Cast Will Smith as Daryl Ward, a human LAPD officer.

Netflix officially picked up the film for a $90 million deal with filming beginning in fall 2016, making it the most expensive Netflix film to date. Noomi Rapace entered talks to join the cast in May 2016. Landis stated in an interview that official production was expected to begin in September 2016, but that they 'd already shot a small part in Los Angeles. Ayer 's frequent cinematographer, Roman Vasyanov, was confirmed to be working on the project. On October 15, 2016, Lucy Fry was added to the cast. On October 17, 2016, Andrea Navedo was added to the cast. On October 20, 2016, actor Brad William Henke was cast in the film.

Filming was completed by February 4, 2017. Reception Critical response Bright received criticism for its screenplay, cinematography and excessive focus on social commentary. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 26 % based on 91 reviews, with an average rating of 3.8 / 10. The website 's critical consensus reads, `` Bright tries to blend fantasy, hard - hitting cop drama, and social commentary -- and ends up falling painfully short of the mark on all three fronts. '' On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 29 out of 100, based on 26 critics, indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews ''. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars, saying : `` Bright is basically a tired buddy - cop movie dressed up in bizarre trappings... It does n't take itself too seriously, but it 's not nearly as self - deprecating and funny as it needed to be. '' Writing for Rolling Stone, David Fear gave the film 1 out of 4 stars, criticizing the script and incoherent action scenes, writing : `` This combo of gritty cop procedural and fantasy is a dark, dank, dumb - as - hell mess. '' David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film an `` F '' and called it the worst film of 2017, saying : `` There 's boring, there 's bad, and then there 's Bright... from the director of Suicide Squad and the writer of Victor Frankenstein comes a fresh slice of hell that somehow represents new lows for them both -- a dull and painfully derivative ordeal that often feels like it was made just to put those earlier misfires into perspective. '' Ayer responded enthusiastically to Ehrlich 's review, claiming that he desired for the film to receive `` a strong reaction either way. '' NPR 's Chris Klimek wrote : `` Critics have already lined up to pillory Bright as among the year 's worst releases. Do n't believe the clickbait. Lazy but not boring, this Net - flick is perfectly, stubbornly mediocre, and less a chore to sit through than either of 2017 's Vin Diesel vehicles. '' Audience response Several publications noted that while critics were harsh in their assessment of the film, viewers seemed to enjoy it more and gave positive reactions on social media. Netflix announced that the film had been viewed more times in its first week than any of its other releases. According to Nielsen ratings, about 11 million American viewers streamed Bright within the first three days of its release, with 56 % of the audience being male and 7 million being between the ages of 18 -- 49. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings noted that : `` The critics are pretty disconnected from the mass appeal... ( they ) are an important part of the artistic process but are pretty disconnected from the commercial prospects of a film. If people are watching this movie and loving it, that 's the measurement of success.
