Snipes is Nino Brown, a drug lord who builds an empire with his suave charm and his faith in the marketability of the new drug: crack cocaine. Opposing him are street-wise cops Scotty Appleton (Ice-T) and Nick Peretti (Ashley Judd), each in their own way victimized by the ravages of drug abuse. Together with a recovering drug addict (Chris Rock), these cops will lead an all-out assault on brown's vicious empire. Director Mario Van Peebles infuses New Jack City with a kinetic, authentically vibrant force, and the performances help to make it a truly great flick.

He's young, handsome, smart, rich, successful and prominent in his community. But Nino is a big-time drug baron and head of a street gang and two cops are out to take him down. Synopsis A violent, kinetic gangster film with a strong anti-drug message, "New Jack City" is set in the mid-1980s during the height of the crack epidemic. Two street-wise undercover cops go after Nino Brown, a ruthless drug lord with extravagant taste in home furnishings. Desperate to bring down his multi-million dollar cocaine empire, they send Pookie, a former street hustler and rehabilitated crack addict, into Nino's drug factory as an undercover spy. When the plan misfires, the cops must face Nino and his henchman in a bloody showdown.
