Gangs of New York
America was born in the streets.
Directed by Martin Scorsese
Produced by Miramax, Touchstone Pictures
A brutal, visually sumptuous historical epic about revenge, survival, and the violent birth of immigrant identity in 19th-century New York.
In early 1860s New York, Irish immigrant Amsterdam Vallon is released from prison and returns to the Five Points, seeking revenge against his father's killer, William Cutting, a powerful anti-immigrant gang leader. He knows that revenge can only be attained by infiltrating Cutting's inner circle. Vallon's journey becomes a fight for personal survival and to find a place for the Irish people.
