This searing, award-winning crime drama is set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city's history. From writer/director J.C. Chandor and starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, this gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industry corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay. Against this seething backdrop is the tale of one immigrant's determined climb up a morally crooked ladder, where simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks threaten his business, family and - above all - his own unwavering belief in the righteousness of his path.
