Plot

The streets of the Bronx are owned by '60s youth gangs where the joy and pain of adolescence is lived. Philip Kaufman tells his take on the novel by Richard Price about the history of the Italian-American gang ‘The Wanderers.’

The Bronx, 1963. With the radio stations playing The Four Seasons, Lee Dorsey, The Angels, and Ben E. King, Richie Gennaro and The Wanderers, a band of Italian-American greasers, meander through the city's streets, fall in love, and get into trouble. However, graduation day is fast approaching, and whether the Wanderers like it or not, violence is the only way to resolve differences at school and the street. But do the reckless Wanderers know that their carefree days as a gang are numbered?
