Javier Bardem plays José, the father of the Menendez brothers. 

"While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed - and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole - that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime abuse at the hands of their parents," Netflix shared.
