Following the death of his employer and mentor, Bumpy Johnson, Frank Lucas establishes himself as the number one importer of heroin in the Harlem district of Manhattan. He does so by buying heroin directly from the source in South East Asia and he comes up with a unique way of importing the drugs into the United States. Partly based on a true story.
This movie contains 16 potentially triggering events.
Film shows the graphic effects of drug use, including overdoses. At around an hour and a half in, there's a montage of users/dead bodies, one of which has visible vomit dried around the mouth. It's a disturbing scene that includes a crying baby next to the dead body, so could be very triggering for some.
