Crash
A Brentwood housewife and her DA husband. A Persian store owner. Two police detectives who are also lovers. A Mexican locksmith. Two carjackers. A middle-aged Korean couple...
They all live in Los Angeles. And during the next 36 hours, they will all collide...
Challenging and thought-provoking, Lions Gate Films' Crash takes a provocative, unflinching look at the complexities of racial tolerance in contemporary America. Diving headlong into the diverse melting pot of post - 9/11 Los Angeles, this compelling urban drama tracks the volatile intersections of a multi-ethnic cast of characters' struggles to overcome their fears as they careen in and out of one another's lives. In the gray area between black and white, victim and aggressor, there are no easy answers...
Funny, powerful, and always unpredictable, Crash boldly reminds us of this importance of tolerance as it ventures beyond color lines...and uncovers the truth of our shared humanity.
