Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a young Irish immigrant
released from prison. He returns to the Five Points seeking revenge
against his father's killer, William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), a
powerful anti-immigrant gang leader. He knows that revenge can only be
attained by infiltrating Cutting's inner circle.
Amsterdam's journey becomes a fight for personal survival and to find a
place for the Irish people in 1860's New York.
