Gangs of New York (2002) Remastered Blu-ray Edition

Years after Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis) killed Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson) his only son Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) returns to the five points neighborhood of New York City seeking revenge against his father's killer. Vallon was only a small boy when tensions between Irish immigrants and the native born population reached a boiling point. Fed up with the constant stream of new immigrants coming off boats from Europe everyday the native born Americans led by Bill the Butcher challenged the Irish led by Priest Vallon to a bloody fight to the death using fists and melee weapons.

Now that Amsterdam Vallon is a young man he seeks to blend in with the native population and gain the trust of Bill the Butcher, so that he can kill him. Along the way he develops a relationship with thieving lady Jenny Everdeane (Cameron Diaz) who also has a history with Bill the Butcher. Eventually external factors impact the characters when the civil war forces a military draft in which many natives could afford to pay a fee while the poor Irish had to sign up and fight. This led to a full scale riot that required the army and navy to intervene after police were overwhelmed.
