What happens
Colors is a 1988 American crime drama film starring Sean Penn and Robert Duvall, and directed by Dennis Hopper. The film takes place in the gang-ridden neighborhoods of Los Angeles: late-1980s South Central L.A., Echo Park, Westlake and East L.A.. The film centers on Bob Hodges (Duvall), an experienced LAPD C.R.A.S.H. officer, and his rookie partner, Danny McGavin (Penn), who try to stop the gang violence between the Bloods, the Crips, and Hispanic street gangs. Colors relaunched Hopper as a director 19 years after Easy Rider, and inspired discussion over its depiction of gang life and gang violence. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
