When a fireman is murdered by a black gang member over
racial epithets, his violent death triggers rage in his oldest
son, a skinhead. This motivates the son to form a white supremacist
group at his school. Soon after he realizes that he no longer
wants any part in the hate or violence now being cultivated by
the group, and so he tries to seperate himself from it. But can
he reform himself and prevent his younger brother from following
in his footsteps?
Company Line: "American History X is a profound and stirring
drama about the consequences of urban racism as a family is torn
apart by hate. A graphic examination of extremism in America,
the film follows one man's struggle to reform himself and save
his brother after living a life consumed by violence and bigotry."
