Directed by Spike Lee • 2002 • United States Starring Edward Norton, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rosario Dawson
Spike Lee conjures a sobering vision of life in post-9/11 New York City in this heartrending urban drama. In just one day, convicted drug dealer Monty Brogan (Edward Norton) is set to begin a seven-year prison stretch. Once a king of Manhattan, he’s about to say goodbye to the life he knew—a life that opened doors to New York’s swankest clubs but also alienated him from the people closest to him. But first: there are people to see, scores to settle, and maybe, just maybe, a last chance to redeem himself. Unfolding over the course of one tense day, 25TH HOUR gathers in quiet intensity as it builds toward a stunning climax.
