About

Two of the great superstars of gangster films – Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney – appear in this classic crime saga. Three soldiers (Bogart, Cagney, and Jeffrey Lynn) return from the trenches of World War I to find a troubled America that would soon be enveloped by Prohibition. Two of them turn to the lucrative world of bootlegging, while the third uses his position as a lawyer to keep them out of jail. Their criminal enterprise begins to strain when rivalries over women, power and money start tearing them apart. A gangster epic in the vein of Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas 1990, The Roaring Twenties depicts the rise and fall of three characters over more than a decade of American life.
