Overview
An unforgettable true story of friendship, loyalty, violence and revenge, set against the unmistakable backdrop of New York City. Now a major film starring Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, Robert de Niro and Kevin Bacon.
Four boys - lifelong friends who shared everything - in the confines of New York City''s Hell''s Kitchen, content with playing as many pranks as they can without getting caught. Until one disastrous afternoon.
When a harmless scheme goes terribly wrong, the boys are left facing a year''s imprisonment in the Wilkinson Home for Boys, and the beatings and abuse they find there will change their lives forever.
In the years that follow, one will become a lawyer, one a reporter, and two will grow to become hitmen for-hire. But for all of them, the legacy of Wilkinson - the pain, fear and anger - still rages on within. Only revenge will erase it.
One final, audacious stand against a corrupt system. If they are caught this time, the only thing to lose is their lives.
