American Gangster, a 2007 crime film written by Steve Zaillian and directed by Ridley Scott, stars Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. With this newest drama and cult hero tale from the streets of Harlem, Universal Pictures has just released all new production stills for promotion of the film.

For release on November 2, American Gangster tells the story of a Harlem heroin kingpin, Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington), who smuggles the drug into America by hiding it in the coffins of American soldiers returning from the Vietnam War. Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) is a detective who works to bring down Lucas.

Washington and Crowe lead a spectacular cast of accomplished and rising stars—including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Josh Brolin, Ted Levine, Armand Assante, John Ortiz, John Hawkes, RZA, Common and T.I.—in this blistering tale of a true American entrepreneur directed by Oscar nominee Ridley Scott and produced by Academy Award winner Brian Grazer and Scott from a screenplay by Academy Award® winner Steven Zaillian.
