In Brooklyn's Crown Heights, where West Indian Rastafarians and other Blacks live next door to the Jewish Chabad community, ethnic tensions are high. After a minor car crash, the headstrong Judah and other Jewish men who patrol the neighborhood as vigilantes confront Scratch, a mouthy African-American hustler. Passengers in the cars make eye contact: Sol, a hip-hop musician, songwriter, and artist (Scratch's friend), and Sara, who is betrothed to Judah but wants to go to college and be on her own. Over the next few days, while Scratch and Judah's conflict escalates in violence, Sara and Sol connect in ways that echo Sheba and Solomon.

Un film de concert tiré de deux concerts des Rolling Stones lors de leur tournée nord-américaine de 1972. En 1972, les Stones amènent leur tournée Exile on Main Street au Texas : 15 chansons, dont cinq de l'album "Exile". Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Charlie Watts et Bill Wyman sur une petite scène avec trois autres musiciens. Jusqu'à ce que les lumières s'allument vers la fin, nous voyons les pierres sur un fond noir. La caméra reste principalement sur Jagger, avec quelques plans de Taylor. Richards est à l'écran pour ses duos et pour un travail de guitare sur les deux dernières chansons. C'est de la musique du début à la fin : du hard rock ("All Down the Line"), du blues ("Love in Vain" et "Midnight Rambler"), un hommage à Chuck Berry ("Bye Bye Johnny"), et pas de "Satisfaction .
