Povijesni kriminalistički film o krvavim borbama bandi za prevlast u New Yorku u doba američkog Građanskog rata. Područje New Yorka, šezdesete godine 19. stoljeća. Amsterdam Vallon, mladić irskog podrijetla, dolazi u zloglasnu četvrt Five Points ne bi li osvetio svog oca Priesta Vallona koji je bio vođa bande irskih doseljenika, a ubijen je prije šesnaest godina. Amsterdamova je meta Bill "The Butcher", nemilosrdni vođa bande "domorodaca", osobito netrpeljiv prema imigrantima. Da bi mu se što više približio, Vallon pristupa Butcherovoj bandi, zadobiva njegovo povjerenje, zaljubi se u njegovu štićenicu Jenny, i čeka svoju priliku...
