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, Vittorio Gassman, Brad Renfro, Joe Perrino, Geoffrey Wigdor, and Jonathan Tucker. 

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.

During the boys' stay at the facility, they participate in Wilkinson's annual football game between the guards and inmates. Michael convinces Rizzo, a black inmate, that they should play as hard as they can to show the guards they can fight back. Rizzo agrees, and helps to win the game. As a result of this, all four boys are beaten and thrown into solitary confinement for several weeks, and Rizzo is beaten to death by the guards. They cover up Rizzo's murder by telling his family that he died of pneumonia.

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.
