Two-time Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro stars in Martin Scorsese's drama of young men coming to manhood by the code of New York's Little Italy.
When small-time wise guy Charlie (Harvey Keitel) is offered a restaurant by his uncle Giovanni, he struggles to reconcile his gang life with Catholic guilt. When forced to choose between his desire for power, his love for Teresa, and feelings of duty toward protecting his friend Johnny Boy (De Niro) from seemingly inevitable self destruction, which path does he choose?
Mean Streets is a harrowing, intense, and gruelling dramatic experience – brilliantly acted and directed 50 years after its original release.
