About
You can stream American Gangster (2007) on Apple TV+ with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
Loosely based on the criminal career of Frank Lucas, a gangster from La Grange, North Carolina, who smuggled heroin into the United States on American service planes returning from the Vietnam War, before being detained by a task force led by Newark Detective Richie Roberts.
A cold, methodical sense of business permeates this sprawling portrait of a heroin empire built on military supply lines. The collision between a disciplined kingpin and a relentless detective turns a classic crime saga into a tense game of procedural chess.
