Raoul Walsh's The Roaring Twenties is a gripping crime drama that captures the rise and fall of bootleggers in Prohibition-era New York. Following World War I, three returning servicemen—Eddie Bartlett (James Cagney), George Hally (Humphrey Bogart), and Lloyd Hart (Jeffrey Lynn)—venture into the illegal alcohol trade. While Eddie leads the business, Hally's growing ambition sparks a treacherous power struggle that spans a decade.
