30 years in the making, Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-winning epic is set in the turbulent Five Points area of New York in the mid nineteenth century. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Amsterdam Vallon, out to avenge the death of his father (Liam Neeson) at the hands of Daniel Day-Lewis' fearsome Bill the Butcher. Amsterdam succeeds in integrating himself into Bill's corrupt inner circle, which is now running the entire underworld around Five Points, and even becomes his right-hand man. However, his identity is eventually revealed and a bloody showdown ensues.
