English Summary:
Sleepers is a 1996 American legal crime drama film written, produced, and directed by Barry Levinson, and based on Lorenzo Carcaterra's 1995 novel of the same name. The film stars Kevin Bacon, Jason Patric, Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Minnie Driver and Vittorio Gassman.
Lorenzo "Shakes" Carcaterra, Tommy Marcano, Michael Sullivan, and John Reilly are childhood friends in Hell's Kitchen in the mid-1960s. The local priest, Father Robert "Bobby" Carillo, serves as a father figure to the boys and keeps an eye on them. However, they start running small errands for a local gangster, King Benny.
In the summer of 1967, they accidentally injure a man while robbing a hot dog vendor. The boys are sentenced to the Wilkinson Home for Boys in Upstate New York; Tommy, Michael, and John are sentenced to 12-18 months, while Shakes is given 6-12 months. There, the boys are systematically abused and raped by guards Sean Nokes, Henry Addison, Ralph Ferguson, and Adam Styler. The abuse changes the boys and their friendship forever.
Hungarian Summary:
Négy jó barát lógott együtt a hatvanas évekbeli nagyváros mocskos negyedében. Egy ártatlannak induló csínyük rosszul sült el, "jutalmuk" a javítóintézet, vagyis a börtön lett. A hosszú, reménytelen "alvás", a rács mögötti kegyetlen világ alapvetően megváltoztatja életüket. 11 évvel később aztán eljön az igazságszolgáltatás ideje - mint a fiúk kedvenc gyerekkori olvasmányában, a Monte-Christo grófjában.
