Brutal Battle For the Five Points Begins

Gangs of New York plunges you into the brutal, vibrant world of 1860s Manhattan. After witnessing the murder of his father at the hands of the ruthless gang leader Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) returns to the notorious Five Points. Posing as an ally, he infiltrates Bill’s inner circle to exact vengeance — but is drawn into a web of corruption, shifting loyalties, and social upheaval. Alongside pickpocket Jenny Everdeane (Cameron Diaz), Amsterdam’s quest for revenge becomes a larger fight for identity and power amid the turbulence of Civil War–era New York. Directed by Martin Scorsese, this sprawling historical epic is a raw, cinematic tour de force spanning from gang wars to the Draft Riots.
