Amid the savage Irish and Italian rivalry that dominated New York City in the mid-1800s, Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) hunts down his father's hateful murderer, Bill "the Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis). Along the way, Vallon falls for the charms of a streetwise pickpocket (Cameron Diaz). Director Martin Scorsese's riveting epic -- nominated for 10 Oscars -- also stars Jim Broadbent, Liam Neeson, John C. Reilly and Henry Thomas.
