About the Movie
Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson (Laurence Fishburne) is a Black ex-con who returns to Harlem at the height of its renaissance before World War II. Just out of prison and with no marketable skills, he begins working for Stephanie St. Clair (Cicely Tyson), the queen of Harlem's numbers racket. Bumpy's old friend Illinois Gordon (Chi McBride) is concerned about Bumpy's job, and social worker Francine Hughes (Vanessa L. Williams) suggests he should be doing something more positive with his life. However, Bumpy stays with the numbers game because he claims it's the only profitable business that Blacks control themselves. And profitable it is…enough to get the attention of mob boss "Lucky" Luciano (Andy Garcia), who wants a piece of the action. He assigns his right-hand man "Dutch" Schultz (Tim Roth) to make a deal with Stephanie, but Dutch is far better at murder and mayhem than negotiation.

剧情简介
　　片中的主要人物在30年代的纽约都是闻之令人胆寒的黑帮。邦皮.约翰逊受入狱的黑帮女老大之托，代管赌毒买卖。与别的帮派先是合作，后又火并，直打得血流成河尸横街头。原因是他这个黑道人物有自己的特色，身为黑人，他不以白人的马首是瞻，更不让所谓道规行律束缚自己。所以，以白人舒尔茨为代表的黑道人物也视他为圈内的“不法之徒"。从影片中我们可以看到，邦皮虽然赚的是黑钱，但这些钱很多又回馈社会。人们视他为哈林区仗义疏财的罗宾汉，对社会有贡献的英雄。这位已于1968年去世的着名“暴徒"也许不会想到，今天的电影人会以他的生平来表现一种阳刚之气。
