New York City, NY

In 2007, director Ridley Scott joined forces with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe to create one of the greatest crime movies of all time, American Gangster. Scott retold the shocking tale of notorious Harlem crime boss Frank Lucas, played by the peerless Washington. Russell Crowe played Richie Roberts, the detective fundamental to the downfall of Lucas, who later befriended the feared kingpin. However, it was not the dramatized elements that proved most horrifying, but the truth itself. The truth behind the terror will only enliven the story and give light to how one man once ruled New York's heroin industry.
