He's young, handsome, smart, rich, successful and prominent in his community. But Nino is a big-time drug baron and head of a street gang and two cops are out to take him down. Synopsis A violent, kinetic gangster film with a strong anti-drug message, "New Jack City" is set in the mid-1980s during the height of the crack epidemic. Two street-wise undercover cops go after Nino Brown, a ruthless drug lord with extravagant taste in home furnishings. Desperate to bring down his multi-million dollar cocaine empire, they send Pookie, a former street hustler and rehabilitated crack addict, into Nino's drug factory as an undercover spy. When the plan misfires, the cops must face Nino and his henchman in a bloody showdown.
