Legend

Based on the book The Profession Of Violence by John Pearson, Legend tells the story of a pair of ruthless upstarts, Reggie and Ronnie Kray (Hardy). The Kray twins dominated the East End of London for years, until a police investigation. Ronnie's self-destructive tendencies, and the disintegration of Reggie's marriage, threatened to destroy the empire they built. As the brothers rise through the criminal underworld, Ronnie advances the family business with violence and intimidation while Reggie struggles to go legitimate for local girl Frances Shea (Browning). In and out of prison, Ronnie's unpredictable tendencies and the slow disintegration of Reggie's marriage threaten to bring the brothers' empire tumbling to the ground. This is an edgy and action-packed true story. (Gary Reber)
