Across 110th Street

Three crooks hold-up a Mob bank in Harlem - they come away with $300,000, but the heist goes awry and results in the death of both Black and Italian gangsters, as well as two police officers. The massacre is the catalyst for all out war on the streets of New York, as all three elements - the Black and Italian mobs, and the police - jockey to regain control of their territory and to find the culprits. Assigned to the case for the police are police veteran Captain Matelli (Anthony Quinn - Lawrence of Arabia, La Strada), a bigot prone to violent outbursts, and Lt. Pope (Yaphet Kotto - Alien, Midnight Run), a less experienced Black detective assigned to the case for `political reasons'. The pair are forced to learn to work together in order to survive the violent chaos that is about to ensue. Shot on location in New York with then state-of-the-art handheld cameras, Across 110th Street is a gritty, violent piece of 70s cinema that combines elements of blaxploitation and film noir into a uniquely compelling and influential gangster movie, with a memorable soul and funk soundtrack from JJ. Johnson and Bobby Womack, whose legendary title track was adopted by both Quentin Tarantino and Ridley Scott for their own NY crime epics.
