Synopsis

The true story of the rise and fall of London’s most notorious gangsters, Reggie and Ronnie Kray, both portrayed by Tom Hardy. Together, the Kray Twins take over the city. But as their reign expands, power-struggles, fierce madness, and a woman diminishes their bond; the weak link that could cause their empire to collapse.
A classic crime thriller from Academy Award® winner Brian Helgeland, taking us into the secret history of the 1960s and the extraordinary events that secured the infamy of the Kray twins.
