Once Upon a Time in America

In the 1920s, David Aaronson (Robert De Niro) and Maximillian Bercouicz (James Woods), two friends of Jewish descent, grew up committing petty crimes on the streets of the Lower East Side, New York. Gradually these crimes take on greater proportions and the Jewish Mafia has become so strong that friends from the past become rivals. This saga runs since their childhood days, crosses the peak during Prohibition and portrays their reunion after 35 years.
