SANFORD AND SON details the comically endless disagreements between Fred Sanford (Foxx), aging junkyard owner, and his 34-year-old son, Lamont (Wilson). The dynamic duo lives together in the Los Angeles Watts housing complex. Lamont is a reluctant partner in the junkyard business, always threatening to leave only to be retained by Fred's feigned heart attacks. Fred, meanwhile, is a crotchety fellow with a heart of gold, and both characters are forever coming up with get rich quick schemes that reliably backfire. (official distributor synopsis)
