Sprawling, brawling historical saga from director Martin Scorsese is set in the racially divided and strife-torn Five Points neighborhood of 1860s Manhattan. Young Irish-American Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) works his way into the confidence of anti-immigrant gang leader Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis)-who killed Vallon's father 20 years earlier-in order to gain revenge. Cameron Diaz, Liam Neeson, Henry Thomas, and Jim Broadbent also star.
