Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) is a former neo-Nazi skinhead released from prison after serving three years for a brutal hate crime. Determined to prevent his younger brother Danny (Edward Furlong) from following the same path, Derek grapples with the ideologies that shaped him and the hard lessons of life behind bars that changed him. Tony Kaye's landmark drama features one of Norton's finest performances and remains a visceral, uncompromising examination of racism, radicalization, and redemption in America.
