As waves of immigrants swell the population of New York, lawlessness and corruption thrive in lower Manhattan’s Five Points section. After years of incarceration, young Irish immigrant Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) returns seeking revenge against the rival gang leader, Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis), who killed his father. Before long, Amsterdam’s personal vendetta becomes part of an erupting wave of full-blown gang warfare, as he and his fellow Irishmen fight to carve a place for themselves in their newly adopted homeland.
“At turns brilliant and ponderous, luminous and drab, this is the type of ethereal feast only America’s greatest living director could attempt.”
—Sarah Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak
The first of the director’s collaborations with Leonardo DiCaprio, Scorsese’s Gangs of New York (2002) received ten Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Scorsese and Best Actor for Daniel Day-Lewis.
