Three Brooklyn police officers find their careers converge at a single moment. A veteran on the brink of retirement is presented with a difficult dilemma, a corrupt cop is willing to do what it takes to provide for his family and an undercover officer has grown disillusioned with his role and is ready to step down. Crime thriller, starring Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Enforcing the law within the notoriously rough Brownsville section of the city and especially within the Van Dyke housing projects is the NYPD's sixty-fifth precinct. Three police officers struggle with the sometimes fine line between right and wrong.
