our comment. "A very realistic and entertaining film that has all the landmarks of a classic"
A veteran police officer is teamed up with a young rookie on the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (CRASH) unit of the Los Angeles Police Departement. They cover the inner-city beat, and most of their job consists of trying to control the gangs that roam L.A's poorer neighborhoods. When they investigate the murder of a "Blood" gang member by their arch-rivals, "The Crips", the officers learn how far-reaching the violence and the influence of the street gangs really is.

A powerful and riveting actiondrama about street gangs in L.A. that definately holds the test of time.
