Get Hard is about James King (will Ferrell), a wealthy white man, and Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart), a lower middle class Black man. Lewis runs a car wash in the basement of King's office building. After King gets arrested for fraud and embezzlement, he asks Lewis to "train" him for prison assuming he has been incarcerated because he is Black. Lewis accepts the job and plays along with the assumption because he needs money to send his daughter to a better school. So, he demands $30,000 for the job.

This film is about a wealthy-Caucasian family who is going under an investigation and forced to live with another family until the investigation is completed. However, upon arriving there the family is cautious and fearful about where they will be staying due to the fact that it is in a lower class area. As they enter the home of the family they will be staying with, they realize that they are African American. The home owner, named Madea, takes them into her home and allows them refuge unit they are able to return to their own home. While they are confined in the same living quarters, the daughter of the wealthy family, Cindy, treats Madea as if she is above her and her present family members.
Madea is depicted as a slave-figure.
( ...unreliable, upredictable, and undependable-capable of 'turning nasty,' or plotting in a treacherous way...") (Hall 92)
Madea is also depicted as a entertainer-figure.
("This captures the 'innate' humour, as well as the physical grace of the licensed entertainer- putting on a show for the Others.") (Hall 92)
Madea is portrayed as also being a Native-figure.
(Portrayed in terms of cheating and cunning, and, further out, savagery and barbarism.") (Hall 92)
