Juice
In the Ghettos of Harlem you don't buy respect... you earn it.
Directed by Ernest R. Dickerson
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Island World
A tense street drama about four Harlem friends whose bonds fracture when a robbery goes wrong and ambition collides with loyalty, set against a hip-hop backdrop.
Four Harlem friends -- Bishop, Q, Steel and Raheem -- dabble in petty crime, but they decide to go big by knocking off a convenience store. Bishop, the magnetic leader of the group, has the gun. But Q has different aspirations. He wants to be a DJ and happens to have a gig the night of the robbery. Unfortunately for him, Bishop isn't willing to take no for answer in a game where everything's for keeps.
