Overview

"Street Kings" is a film that follows the story of a disillusioned Los Angeles Police Officer. This officer, who has been a part of the cop culture his entire career, is rarely seen playing by the rules. His personal life is also marked by a significant loss, specifically the death of his wife. The officer's actions are put under scrutiny when evidence emerges implicating him in the execution of a fellow officer. As a result, he is forced to confront the cop culture he has been a part of and question the loyalties of those around him. This internal conflict sets in motion a chain of events that challenges the officer's values and forces him to re-evaluate his place within the police department.
