American Gangster Frank Lucas (Washington) has become Harlem's number one drug kingpin. Detective Ritchie Roberts (Crowe), one of the few honest cops working within a corrupt system, sets out to topple Lucas' multimillion-dollar drug empire. When confrontation between the two men becomes inevitable, the fate of each becomes inexorably tied to the other, with only one of them emerging the victor. Based on the article "Return Of Superfly" by Mark Jacobson. (Stacey Pendry)
