Brentwood housewife and her DA husband. A Persian store
owner. Two police detectives who are also lovers. A black television director
and his wife. A Mexican locksmith. Two car-jackers. A rookie cop. A middle-aged
Korean couple… They all live in
Los
Angeles. And in the next 36 hours, they will all
collide… A provocative, unflinching look at the complexities of racial conflict
in
America,
CRASH is that rare cinematic event - a film that challenges audiences to
question their own prejudices. 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, examining fear and bigotry from multiple perspectives as characters
careen in and out of one another's lives. No one is safe in the battle zones of
racial strife. And no one is immune to the simmering rage that sparks violence
- and changes lives... Funny, powerful, and always unpredictable, CRASH boldly
explores the gray area between black and white, victim and aggressor…and finds
no easy solutions. The dynamic feature directing debut of Emmy Award-winning
writer/producer Paul Haggis, CRASH stars Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt
Dillon, Jennifer Esposito, William Fichtner, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard,
Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Thandie Newton, Ryan Phillippe and Larenz
Tate, from a story by Paul Haggis and a screenplay by Haggis and Bobby Moresco.
CRASH is produced by Cathy Schulman, Don Cheadle, Bob Yari, Mark R. Harris,
Bobby Moresco and Paul Haggis.
