What did they want that day? What were they trying to live for?
A magnificent portrait of men living through a turbulent time in America.
New York in the early 1921s. As the storm of Prohibition raged across the United States, two young boys, Noodles and Max, met. As they were soon joined by a group of friends who admired them, their rampages turned to madness. Friendship, love, and betrayal... This is the epic tale of Jewish gangsters spanning half a century.
