One of the most impactful moments in the movie is found in the beginning, when Ray Kroc, portrayed by Michael Keaton, is a traveling milkshake mixer salesman running across the McDonald's burger brand and instantly coming to the realization that this was something different and what would revolutionize the traditional dine-in restaurant industry. In the amazing movie, " The Founder," you will find the story of how McDonald's ( MCD) became what it is today.
