American Me

1992 125 min R Crime · Drama

In prison they are the law. On the streets they are the power.

You wake in Folsom after eighteen years, a kingpin who swore off the life. The block lights up like a rival’s taillight as homies slide you back into deals. The warden nods it’s inevitable. The streets remember your shadow.

Directed by Edward James Olmos · Written by Floyd Mutrux, Desmond Nakano

Starring Edward James Olmos, William Forsythe, Pepe Serna, Panchito Gómez, Steve Wilcox, Danny De La Paz
