Over the years, American history has been the subject of several films and TV shows – showcasing events that shaped the nation’s rise to global power. From tales of World War II, early settlers and the War of Independence, the era of gunslingers and outlaws, and the rise of the digital age, Hollywood has captured America’s role in some of the most pivotal moments in human history. However, the Western nation is also guilty of several dark historical moments involving systemic racism and discrimination of multiple forms – often unspeakable atrocities and crimes.

These morally ambiguous stories of gangsters who are equally feared and respected make for a compelling watch. And these movies trace their life from their humble beginnings leading up to their devastating and tragic ends. Read more
